ASA Food Bank
This program provides free supplementary non-perishable food hampers to Augustana students in need.
Overview
Started in 2021, this program was created to help offset the stresses caused by food insecurity. These hampers are meant to replace 25% to 35% of monthly food costs for students so their money can be spent on other bills (rent, tuition, etc.).
Currently, food hampers are distributed once a month, and applications are open to all current Augustana Students. After requesting a Food Hamper, successful applicants will receive an email to schedule a pick up appointment.
Applicants are asked to:
-
Come at their chosen appointment time
-
Bring bags for transporting items
-
Bring OneCards for proof of student status
Please note, a UAlberta email is required to request a hamper.
