hi friendos,<\/span><\/p>\n

did you know there’s a student-run food bank on campus? since the weather is getting colder, i thought it might be good to let folks know about this resource.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/p>\n

the place in question is the UTSU food bank<\/a>, which can be found at\u00a0230 college street<\/a> (in the student commons building at the corner of huron and college).<\/p>\n

this is an accessible building, and you can go to food bank room 136 to pick up food every friday, 11am to 3pm by appointment. to make an appointment, you’ll book a slot on this site<\/a> \u2014 bookings open up every wednesday at 9am.<\/p>\n

when you show up, just make sure to bring a valid T card or a copy of your current timetable (to verify you’re a U of T student), and reusable bags for carrying food. but if you can’t pick up food between 11am and 3pm, you’re able to assign a proxy by giving them your T-card!<\/p>\n

for this fall semester, the food bank will run until dec 13, 2024 \u2014 but it’ll open up again for the winter semester in january.<\/p>\n

meanwhile, if this food bank doesn’t work for you, check out 211 ontario<\/a>, where you can find a directory of local food resources near you. there are also several community fridges spread throughout downtown toronto. you can find a super pretty map of these here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

on that note, i encourage anyone who sees this to donate to toronto community fridges! it’s literally so easy, they’re covered in colorful paintings so they’re easy to spot, you just open it up and put food in! i also saw that the UTSU food bank is currently taking volunteer applications for the winter semester<\/a> btw.<\/p>\n

and that’s it from me, i’ll be happy if even one person finds this useful. let me know if you’d like more posts about similar U of T resources, or places to get cheap groceries near campus, etc etc!<\/p>\n

\"This<\/p>\n

over and out,<\/p>\n
