ABOUT THE PROGRAM

OUR PRIMARY GOAL

To have food and basic needs available to students of York University who are in a position where they can no longer afford to purchase these items for themselves.

OUR SECONDARY GOAL

To provide healthy, balanced food choices and to ensure that the food provided can, to whatever extent possible, fit cultural and dietary needs.

What is this service?

The YFS Food Support Centre helps students overcome difficult financial circumstances by providing free non-perishable food and basic need items.

How do I access the service?

Please email foodcentre@yfs.ca for further information about FSC access and operations.

THE GOOD FOOD BOX

The Good Food Box is a way for student, faculty and staff to have access to fresh and organic produce conveniently on campus and at a low cost. Throughout the year, a variety of in-season fruits and vegetables, which are grown in Ontario whenever possible, are packed in recyclable containers and sent off to over 200 pick-up locations across the city.

There are many types of boxes that can be ordered to suit the needs of individuals and families who want to stay healthy. The Good Food Box is run through FoodShare Toronto. For more information on how to order your Good Food Box at York University, drop by our Member Services Office Room 106 Student Centre, or contact services@yfs.ca.

Facilitated by the York Federation of Students.
