Stock-tober 2021

This Student Affairs’ annual fundraiser for the UVSS Food Bank & Free Store provides students with basic food and necessities while working to eliminate the stigma around accessing food banks. This year, Island Savings has generously agreed to match Stock-tober donations up to $2,500!
With the rising costs of housing, childcare and food, the UVSS Food Bank & Free Store provides undergrad and grad students with access to food and essential household items – extra resources are even made available for students supporting families.
Access to nutritious food is a key element of mental and physical health, and the UVSS Food Bank & Free Store is a crucial resource for UVic students. Every week, hundreds of UVic students come to the Food Bank & Free Store - more than 300 hampers were distributed in September 2020 alone!
All monetary donations to the UVSS Food Bank & Free Store are appreciated but are not eligible for a tax receipt. If you have any questions, please contact our Development Office at 250-418-5140, or by email at givingofficer@uvic.ca.
