The UVSS Food Bank & Free Store
The UVSS Food Bank & Free Store
The UVSS Food Bank & Free Store is a community space that supports students by supplementing basic food and other supplies, and works to eliminate the stigma surrounding accessing food banks. Run by a team of dedicated staff and volunteers, the UVSS Food Bank & Free Store offers all UVic students access to food essentials and free household items.
With the rising costs of tuition, housing, childcare, and food, we do what we can to provide essential support to undergrad and grad students. Extra resources are available for students supporting families.
Every week, hundreds of UVic students come to the Food Bank & Free Store. Students can drop by the UVSS Food Bank & Free Store during posted drop-in hours. All services are totally confidential and all current UVic students are welcome to use this service.
