Located on the unceded, unsurrendered territories of the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, we recognize that we are settlers on this land, and strive to actively promote decolonization and support for indigenous peoples. The Food Bank & Free Store is committed to values of respect, sustainability, food security, accessibility, reducing stigma, and fostering safer spaces and a supportive community on campus.
One of our aims with this page is to ensure users and potential users have access to quick daily online tips regarding when we get our food orders in, have food and/or volunteer shortages, awesome donations, etc. We will also use this page to keep connected with the broader UVic community and make sure we are providing a service that suits the needs and wants of all students.
Absolutely any student can use the self-serve Food Bank service, and the items on the Free Store shelves are constantly changing, so swing by and check it out!
