This fall, customers of SPUD.ca will have the opportunity to help fill Vancouver Community College's (VCC) Gathering Space Pantry.
A new initiative by VCC's Indigenous Education and Community Engagement department, the Gathering Space Pantry provides healthy and accessible snacks and grocery items for Indigenous students who are impacted by food insecurity.
To support VCC's Gathering Space Pantry, SPUD customers can add healthy and protein-rich food items such as oatmeal, soup, and protein bars to their cart at checkout, or simply donate to the program.
"We are excited to continue to partner with SPUD to provide support for our students. The Gathering Space Pantry offer students a friendly and barrier-free environment where they can help themselves to the cupboard without question," says Reba Noel, VCC Associate Director, Student Recruitment and Learner Engagement.
