UCalgary Student Food Security Fund

No student should have to choose between their education and their next meal.

Food insecurity is a growing concern on campus, with 32% of UCalgary students reporting food insecurity in 2024. The Student Food Security Fund is tackling this issue head-on by funding initiatives that make nutritious, affordable food more accessible through the Campus Food Hub. Your support helps sustain essential programs such as:

The Ladle UP! lunch program offers warm, vegetarian soup lunches for just $2, serving 50-70 students weekly with the aim to expand to 150-200 students to meet growing demand.
The Affordable Food Market provides fresh produce, dairy, and protein alternatives at reduced prices, helping students maintain a healthy diet on a budget.
The Meal Kits, valued at $10 to $20 each, offer convenient, home-cooked meals with ingredients for two to three servings, for only $5 to students with support from donors like you.

Join us in combating food insecurity within our student community. Your generosity helps ensure that every student is nourished, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
