Are you hungry? In an emergency? The SFU Food Bank gives food to students and their families. Services are private and confidential. Food is offered on a one-time emergency basis or as a helping hand during harder times. You can find the Food Bank in Maggie Benston Centre room 1349, at the Burnaby campus. They are open a variety of hours every semester. They give food to SFU students… because you can’t eat your textbooks!
