Students voted in the Spring of 2020 to pay a fee of $0.70 per credit that goes towards this program. Originally intended to support a food bank service and a student job to manage the service, this program was amended in 2020 to operate as an emergency grocery card program noting the limitations of a functioning food bank on campus amidst COVID-19 precautions. This fund is intended to support short-term, emergency needs and all students who apply will be connected with support systems in the Durham region to address any long-term needs as required.
Only undergraduate students with a home location of Durham campus are eligible to apply. Students may apply for the Grocery Assistance Fund once per semester.
