Please support us in raising more awareness in order to obtain funding from our provincial government for University Foods Banks! They are currently running on donations and student service fee only and this is not sustainable!!! Each year, a student is spending on average $4000.00 on the cost of foods (University of Toronto, 2007). Our target food banks in this action include York University, George Brown College, Ryerson Univeristy and UofT. From there we hope all universities in Canada will be impacted. Sign here to show your support!!

The emails I receive from students struggling to afford basic meals daily have been heart-wrenching to read. Dealing with the bureaucracy of government officials is exhausting and slow but I am staying in contact with their offices to keep this momentum moving forward.

Reaching this level of support has been a heavy, grounding experience that proves we are not fighting this battle alone. The work ahead remains grueling and the exhaustion is real, but seeing this momentum gives me the resolve to keep pushing for the funding our students actually deserve.

The price of groceries is insane lately. UofT needs to step up and the gov needs to pay their share
