Food Centre Service Cluster

Emergency Essentials Assistance Program

The USC provides hampers of food and essentials to students in need offering a pick-up from their office during their operational hours.

To request a hamper for the first time, students must complete the Link2Feed Intake Form (once), the student verification form (once an academic year) and the Hamper Request Form which can be found on the USC’s website or Linktree. Subsequent hamper requests can be made by resubmitting just the Hamper Request Form.

Students are limited to two hampers of food and essentials per month. If you require additional food or financial assistance due to dire need, please complete the Enhanced Assistance Request Form located on their website and Linktree, email the USC, or visit their office in 132 Nideyinàn.

The USC Food Centre is an emergency service intended for temporary use.

Food Related Programming

The USC holds food drives and other food-related initiatives and events to support its Emergency Essentials Assistance Program, offers food-related educational programming such as food preparation events, and increases awareness of the presence of food insecurity and poverty in our community.
