Food Bank

The Université de Montréal’s food bank is an independent organization led by students dedicated to fight food insecurity. It relies solely on the generosity of student volunteers, its funding scholarships and its supplier, Moisson Montréal. The food bank operates every Monday during regular business hours in the University’s main cafeteria.
