User:UofACFB/University of Alberta Campus Food Bank

The University of Alberta Campus Food Bank is a charitable organization involved in the distribution of free food items and toiletries to all members of the University community including students, staff, alumni, and their children. Founded in 1991 by the Graduated Students Association, it became the first food bank in a post secondary institution in Canada.It is colloquially known as the CFB. The main goal of the organization is to eliminate hunger on campus.

The organization is run by students and governed by a board of directors that represent all members of the University community. Were it not for the generosity of the University community, faculties, departments, student groups, and countless individuals, the campus food bank would not exist. Enough food was distributed to 2300 individuals last year alone.
