How the Food Pantry works:
Opening times for June:
- Thursday 5 June 14:00 – 17:00
We will update the web page soon with updates for opening times in June.
Students can drop in anytime between this time and take up to 6 items from the pantry. Items stocked include food cupboard essentials, cleaning products, toiletries and sanitary products.
We ask for your library card username to ensure you are a student. You can decline showing your library card if you do not feel comfortable.
We’re incredibly grateful to ManiLife for their generous donation of peanut butter and peanuts to the SU Food Pantry. Their kindness helps us continue providing food items to students in need.
