To help ensure students have access to affordable food amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of Guelph is responding through food hamper delivery, electronic grocery cards and monetary donations.
The university has established a COVID-19 food security working group made up of students, faculty and staff that not only ensure students have access to food and housing, but are also providing support through virtual connections and programming to help them cope with feelings of anxiety and isolation.
With the help of alumni donations, Student Housing provided students still living in residence with kitchen supplies, so they don’t have to rely on eating more expensive prepackaged foods, helping ease additional financial and emotional strain on these students.
