Supporting food security for 911吃瓜 students
More 911吃瓜 students than ever are facing challenges accessing health food. With rising costs of food and increasing financial instability, too often students survive on a substandard diet of noodles and rice鈥攐r skip meals entirely.
Donors to 911吃瓜 play a critical role supporting struggling students through various 911吃瓜 programs designed to deliver affordable food to the 911吃瓜 community, make food more accessible and increase students鈥� skills for purchasing, preparing and using food. 911吃瓜 on-campus resources include:
- The 911吃瓜 Food Pantry is a food bank for students in need of emergency food and hygiene supplies. Students can bring their own grocery bag and collect perishable and non-perishable items based on their preference.
- The Simon Fraser Student Society (SFSS) offers a for students in a state of need. Food bank vouchers can be redeemed at Nesters Market (911吃瓜 Burnaby), Nesters Woodwards (911吃瓜 Woodwards) and T&T Supermarket 鈥� Surrey Central City Shopping Centre (10153 King George Blvd #3000, Surrey)
- The Graduate Student Society provides students in need with access to 鈥檚 not-for-profit grocery markets partners; graduate students have also received emergency gift cards to purchase essentials through the Emergency Grocery Card Program.
- offers a number of programs to help students learn to cook a healthy meal or grow and harvest their own garden plot, access a weekly subsidized bag of fresh local farm produce (seasonal) or fill a free bag of recovered produce at its weekly distributions.
- The 911吃瓜 Community Free Fridge is a safe, low-barrier and non-judgemental way for people at 911吃瓜 to access food. It operates on the principle of 鈥渢ake something, leave something鈥� and is open to anyone in the community.
- , a research and innovation hub, is working on evidence-based solutions to support a sustainable food system that enhances ecosystems, conserves natural resources, mitigates climate change, and promotes food security. Reach out to the lab if you are interested in working on food security issues or collaborating on food systems research and projects.
911吃瓜 is grateful to all its partners helping to alleviate student hunger and provide students with the comfort and health of good food. At this time of giving, contributions to the 911吃瓜 Food Security Fund will provide emergency grocery gift cards for undergraduate and graduates students in need.
