At 1 p.m. on Monday, March 4, tour participants will gather at the SDG Week Fair. The first stop will be the CFB office (SUB 1-81, next to the main floor elevators) to see the CFB Supplementary Grocery Program. In November 2022, CFB shifted from providing pre-built food hampers to allow clients to ‘shop’ and select food items for themselves. Participants in this tour will be able to explore the shopping space and chat with food bank staff about programming and efforts to combat food insecurity.
The tour will then move to the Rutherford Library Atrium, to visit a brand new community space, the University of Alberta Community Pantry. The Pantry opened in January 2024 and is a collaborative initiative between the CFB and the University of Alberta. As usage of the CFB Supplementary Grocery program continues to increase, this pantry provides alternative food support for students. The Pantry operates on an “Adopt a Week’ model, where the campus community can fundraise for and stock the pantry during a selected week.
