Food Relief Initiative

UTERN CAMPAIGN

UTERN is committed to supporting students experiencing food insecurity due to COVID-19.

We’ve partnered with FoodShare Toronto and the University of Toronto Student Union to facilitate distribution of fresh, locally grown produce to students living in Toronto and experiencing barriers to access due the crisis. Since late March, the UTERN Good Food Box project has facilitated delivery of over 850 fresh produce boxes to U of T students residing in the Toronto region. In the 2020 winter semester, we extended the accessibility of our campaign by providing grocery gift cards to those outside the FoodShare delivery zone. UTERN typically runs weeks-long campaigns once a semester – to stay updated on when we run campaigns, please follow us on social media!

 

For students encountering food insecurity and are in need of other/additional resources, Meal Exchange has also prepared a handy list here.
