The Pantry- Grocery Pick up Program:The Grocery pick up program is an emergency support for Lakehead students. Any student who is having trouble affording food can book an appointment to pick up some food/grocery items. Students can access this support once every two weeks. STEP 1: To set up an appointment email FRC@lusu.ca . We will provide an overview of the program, hours for the week. STEP 2: When you arrive: Check in with our staff. We will ask for your student ID and name. This information is kept confidential and is simply used to keep a record of the total number of students for each month. Your information will never be shared with anyone outside the FRC Staff. STEP 3: Grocery-Store-Style System: Using the guidelines, take what you need by filling our grocery basket. Remember to check our freezer and fridge space too! STEP 4: Checkout: Checkout by letting the staff know you are finished. On your first visit, we will provide you with a reusable bag! Otherwise, please bring your own grocery bag.Chopped U Cooking Classes:Free monthly Cooking classes. A new, affordable, nutritious, culturally-diverse, vegetarian recipe each month!
