Did you know that the Simon Fraser University Food Pantry is now open in MBC? 👏

The SFU Pantry is a food bank for students in need of emergency food and hygiene supplies. Bring your own grocery bag and collect perishable and non-perishable items based on your preference. They are open Wednesdays from 12-3pm on the lower level of MBC. Bring your student ID!
