School of Nursing wins Food Drive Challenge with the LUSU Food Resource Centre

The LUSU Food Resource Centre (FRC) is a Lakehead University Student Union student centre that provides Lakehead University students with emergency food support, food-related education, and events.

Students who are experiencing food insecurity can access our emergency grocery pick-up program once every two weeks. The LUSU FRC also runs programming including the ‘People’s Potato’ which offers free hot lunches to students; ‘Chopped U’ cooking classes; and the ‘Good Food Box’ which is a community program that provides individuals with fresh fruits and vegetables at a subsidized rate.

Student food insecurity is a growing problem at Lakehead University. Over the 2022-2023 school year, almost 1 in 5 Lakehead University students in Thunder Bay accessed the LUSU FRC’s emergency food support at least once throughout the year*.
