Students launch initiatives to support food banks, fight food insecurity

Students are taking the initiative to help those who are experiencing food insecurity. Lethbridge Polytechnic’s Massage Therapy program staff and students and employees are supporting the students’ association’s campaign to help students facing food insecurity by offering free massages to those who make a minimum donation. Two student clubs at St Clair College recently collaborated to hold a food drive to collect food for New Beginnings of Windsor’s emergency food bank. Vancouver Island University Students Union Indigenous Representative Leah Vaisanen started a biweekly hot meal program that will serve meals to students on campus until the end of the year. The Camosun College Student Society will be assembling and distributing holiday hampers to students who are in need.
