UBC Student Food
Security Initiative

At UBC, we are deeply committed to the health and wellbeing of our campus community, especially in ensuring food security—a key component of healthy living.

Food security is a growing challenge on campuses across Canada, and UBC is no exception. When students face financial barriers to healthy meals, the impact goes far beyond hunger. It affects academic performance, mental health, and overall resilience.

That’s why UBC is committed to supporting food security as a cornerstone of student health and wellbeing. The UBC Student Food Security Initiative helps students overcome financial barriers to food access by strengthening student-led and community-driven programs across the Vancouver campus.

Your support makes a real difference—reducing barriers for students who struggle to afford basic necessities, investing in wellbeing so they can focus on learning and personal growth, and building a community where every student can find healthy, affordable food.

A lack of food should not be something students need to worry about. Donate to the UBC Student Food Security Initiative today to help students access affordable and healthy meals.
