The Campus Food Bank (CFB) is the oldest food bank on a university campus in Canada.
We served our first student clients in 1991 when the Graduate Students’ Association began department-level food collection and distribution as a response to high tuition and fees for international students. The food bank was quickly co-funded by the Students’ Union, and we continue to be generously supported by both undergraduate and graduate student unions.
In 1994, we became a registered Canadian charity with an independent board of directors. For more than 30 years now, we have provided supplementary food programming and education to the U of A community.
Equitable food access across our campus community.
Championing immediate and systemic food accessibility at the U of A.
We offer a suite of food support programs to students, staff and alumni of the University of Alberta, and their dependents:
Our supplementary grocery program is dedicated to supporting food insecure individuals in our University of Alberta community, including students, staff and recent alumni.
We run a weekly Saturday bus trip to Superstore, T&T Supermarket, and some specialty shops on 34 Ave
We offer free breakfast on Wednesday mornings in SUB throughout fall and winter semesters, and we keep an assortment of free snack stations stocked across campus.
We operate the UofA Community Pantry in Rutherford Library, which is 100% dependent on community food donations.
WECAN is a monthly bulk grocery program, where campus community members can purchase low cost fruits, vegetables, and meat.
