About Us

The Campus Food Bank was established in 1996 and is registered as a food bank with the Community Food Sharing Association. Many departments, clubs, societies and other groups hold food drives and fundraisers throughout the year in support of its activities. The Food Bank is staffed by volunteers, most of whom are students.

To utilize the Food Bank, students must provide their MCP number or, in the case of out-of-province students, a student number will suffice.

Location

The Campus Food Bank is located in the basement of Corte Real, Burton's Pond Apartments,  on Memorial University's St. John's Campus. We are in room CA1000, next to the new elevator.  The first floor of our building was recently renumbered and our old number of CA1000K is still on our door-frame as of mid-April.  We are building 40B on this campus map.
