Programs
Breakfast Club
Every Wednesday morning 9:30am-11:30am in UC 213 - CSA Clubs Lounge. Foods offered include coffee and tea, oatmeal, cereal, fruit, yogurt, and muffins. Fall & Winter semesters only.
Garden Fresh Box
The Garden Fresh Box program is run out of the Guelph Community Health Centre to offer a source of affordable fresh produce that also supports local farmers (available in sizes small and large). Orders are monthly, so you can place one at the FoodBank by the first Friday of the month and they’ll come in the third Wednesday for pick up. The box is stocked with seasonal produce; in the fall and summer the food is from local farms like Ignatius, while in the winter much is still locally sourced from Don’s Produce and the Elmira Auction, but it is supplemented with things like bananas. You can look on the Guelph Community Health Centre website to see how much would come in a typical large vs. small box.
