Food for all
It is currently estimated that 39% of university students experience some level of food insecurity. The URSU Cares Pantry started in 2016 as a small initiative. Now, it has grown to provide free food and toiletries to more than 180 students facing food insecurity within our campus community.
All current students are welcome to attend the pantry. Please use the “Register for Free” button to access the current registration form.
We would like to thank our sponsors and donors: the Regina Foodbank, Save on Foods, and the Lazy Owl for their continued support.
If you or your organization are interested in making a donation, please email our Food Security Coordinator at food@ursu.ca.
” URSU Cares Pantry is dedicated to ensuring that no student struggles with food insecurity. We provide essential support so students can focus on their education without worrying about their next meal.”
