A brief description of the food bank, pantry, or equivalent resource:
Food Bank
The Peer Support Centre is a referral agency of the Calgary Food Bank, and hampers are available to all eligible individuals. Drop by the Peer Support Centre (Wyckham House, Z210) during our core hours to fill out an application form with one of our volunteers.
Designed as a short-term solution, students can access the food & hygiene cupboard located in the Peer Support Centre as many times as needed. If you need longer-term assistance, we can help you access the Calgary Food Bank through our referral process.
With five satellite locations across campus, SAMRU Care Cupboards build on our existing food security programs by extending anonymous, convenient access to food and personal hygiene supplies.
The cupboards feature both refrigerated and non-perishable food storage, microwaves, and essential hygiene products.
Cupboards and fridges are re-stocked twice a week. Students accessing the care cupboards are encouraged to take what is necessary, but to visit SAMRU’s Peer Support Centre for their broader support needs.
A healthy breakfast is important for maintaining adequate brain function and energy levels throughout the day. Unfortunately, many students either skip or simply can’t afford a nutritious breakfast every day. The Peer Support Centre provides a free, nutritious breakfast to students who need it, to help kick start their day. From 8:45 am (until supplies last) Monday through Friday during the Fall and Winter semesters, fresh fruit, cereal, yogurt, bread, coffee, and more provide a simple and healthy foundation that makes learning possible all day long.
