Over half of Canadian post-secondary students struggle with food security. The BCIT Student Association, in partnership with BCIT and the Burnaby Primary Care Network, is helping the community support one another. The Community Fridge is a program where members of the community can donate and receive food.
The fridge is located on the second floor of SE2 on the Burnaby Campus. The program operates on a policy of “take what you need” and “leave what you can.” With this structure, the BCITSA strives for the fridge to be an accessible, safe, and low-barrier resource for the BCIT community.
The Community Fridge accepts any of the following unopened and non-expired donations:
- Fresh Fruit and Vegetables
- Dry Goods
- Sealed Non-Alcoholic Beverages
- Grab And Go Food
- Breads and Pastries
- Fresh Eggs
- Dairy Products
- Meat Alternatives
Visit the website for more information or to get involved with the program.
