Food Initiatives

Through the Food for Thought Fund Award, you can receive up to $2,500 to help support a project within the Food for Thought program, to help combat food insecurity on campus.

The Bodega is a sister project to the Little Library Pantries that is designed to help students who are short of funds or are in need of a meal. Stop by SP157 in the Student Union building, down the hall from the Collective Centre (just off the tunnel) for a meal or snack.  

This program encourages students to deepen their understanding about nutrition and misconceptions about food insecurity. In the Fall and Winter semesters Food for Thought facilitates workshops to promote students food literacy. If you are curious about our previous workshops click the link below or do you have an innovative idea for a workshop contact us!  

Food for Thought has teamed up with LPIRG (Lethbridge Public Interest Research Group) to provide fresh food boxes to students and have a cart of produce avaliable to students monthly. 

The little library food pantries are pantries around campus stocked weekly with food for students. This food is free and meant for all students so you are welcome to take what you need from them!

Seasonal project to manage garden plots, spend time outdoors gardening, and socialize with peers!

The month of March is Nutrition month, so each year we celebrate student nutrition by hosting a weeks worth of events where students can pick up information and snacks!

Once a year the University of Lethbridge participates in the global event Giving Tuesday to fundraise money to provide students with a  free breakfast during midterms. 

The Iikaisskini Gathering Centre will be providing lunches for students for the Fall of 2023. Visit them to learn more!

The Lethbridge foodbank is supporting our food pantries, the Lunches with Iikaisskani program, and will be making deliveries of non-perishables for students starting in September of 2023.
