Whether you’re skipping meals, unsure about your next grocery trip, or finding it hard to afford food, if you need a little extra help, this is for you!
Join us in the ACSA Event Space at the Victoria Ave East Campus from 11:00pm – 2:00pm (or until out of food) to create a mini hamper and select a variety of food for only $5. Cash, debit, or credit will be accepted as payment
