Strapped for cash and need some food? Don't go hungry! Run entirely by dedicated student volunteers, this valuable service is confidential. The Food Support Service is a non-profit service that provides confidential assistance and food hampers to members of the UWaterloo community experiencing food insecurity. We provide support through offering food hampers and creating unique projects and events to raise awareness of hunger problems. In addition, we raise food for in-need groups in the local community.
Please note: Food and hygiene hampers are currently only available at the Turnkey Desk in the Student Life Centre during their opening hours.
The Food Support Service now offers pre-packaged hampers (choice of either meat, vegetarian, halal, hygiene, and menstrual hampers) which will be available at the following locations:
Custom hampers are available here. Please allow up to 72 hours for us to process your request.
The WUSA Food Support Service provides custom hampers to those with food allergies and/or special dietary needs. If you do not require a custom hamper, our meat, vegetarian, halal, and kosher hampers are available for pick up at any of our locations.
