Many students face barriers in their educational journey due to food insecurity. You can help make a difference by donating to the UFV-SUS Food Bank.
Are you facing food insecurity?
If you say yes to one or more of these statements, you might be facing food insecurity and could consider accessing supports:
- I worried my food would run out before I got money to buy more.
- I ran out of food and couldn't buy more because I didn't have money and/or time.
- I couldn't afford to eat balanced or nutritious meals because I didn't have money and/or time.
- I cut the size of my meals, skipped meals, or went hungry because I didn't have money and/or time.
- I’m stretching my funds to afford food and worrying if I’ll have enough.
If this sounds like you, the UFV SUS Food Bank is here to help. Learn more about how to access food support below.
