Tackling food insecurity by supporting food banks

With many people experiencing food insecurity due to pandemic-related job loss, business closures and supply chain interruptions, Wilfrid Laurier University students at Enactus Laurier created Food Fight to help increase access to food.

Recognizing the strain on food services and availability in the region, the team – typically focused on reducing food waste – shifted its priorities and set up a Go Fund Me campaign to raise funds for the Food Bank of Waterloo Region.

Enactus Laurier brings together a community of entrepreneurial students who are focused on social issues.
