Thanks to the generosity of clients and the OVC community, the OVC Smith Lane Animal Hospital team has made two deliveries to the University of Guelph Student Food Bank with a total of 470 pounds of donations.
There is still an opportunity to donate this week. The OVC Smith Lane Animal Hospital, located in the Hill’s Pet Nutrition Primary Healthcare Centre (PHC), has a bin in its front reception area and will be accepting non-perishable donations until Friday, December 12.
Julia Saturno, Bonnie Wakefield, Patricia Van Asten and Dani Hughes pack up the food bank donations.
The Guelph Student Food Bank supports graduate and undergraduate students right here at the University of Guelph by providing access to emergency food, anti-poverty resources and referrals to other food security, anti-poverty and financial assistance groups. This service is always confidential.
The end of the semester is a particularly difficult time for students as OSAP funding and other resources are often running out and students are struggling financially to get through the term.
The Guelph Student Food Bank is in most urgent need of:
- Peanut butter
- Tuna
- Toiletries
- Beans
- Soup
- Apple sauce
