Does the institution host a food bank, pantry, or equivalent resource focused on alleviating food insecurity, hunger and poverty among students?:
Yes

A brief description of the food bank, pantry, or equivalent resource:
The OCAD U Student Union offers a twice-weekly Hot Lunch program out of OCAD U's main building during the fall and winter semesters. Meals are pay-what-you-can or a non-perishable food item, however, no student will be turned away due to lack of funds.

Student Union also offers the Student Pantry, which provides students with a range of fresh and non-perishable food options, premade meals and grab-and-go snacks, as well as personal care, menstrual hygiene, and sexual health products on a no-assessment basis.
