"Food is a right, not a privilege!"
With the steady increase in the cost of living and the challenges around finding work, many students in post secondary institutions are increasingly facing higher food insecurity issues. In 2006 Food for Thought and The Summit Student Church partnered together to start their vision of establishing a Food Pantry for students at Algoma University. The Pantry officially opened its doors in May 2007. Since then the Food Pantry, now student operated, has increased significantly to meet the demands of students for emergency food services and address food insecurity issues on campus and off.
The Algoma University Students’ Union Food Pantry is a collectively-run student service that recognizes the pressing, often hidden causes and consequences of student hunger. We further strive to develop awareness and support within the university community and in the City of Sault Ste Marie.
Our new temporary home from July 2020 until further notice, is located on the Main Campus in The Globe, International Student Lounge, main floor. We offer the same confidential and oppressive-free environment in a larger and better equipped area to serve your food needs.

We will be open Tuesdays 1- 7PM and Fridays from 11 - 4 pm, where our Pantry Volunteers will be present to assist you.
The AUSU Food Pantry would like to remind you that access to the Pantry is by appointment only at this time. Please arrive to your appointment on time and wait outside the Globe doors (located in between door "U" and "R" on the front loop of the university) to be served.
When making an appointment, please list any dietary needs or specific requests in the space provided. Items may be limited, but the Pantry team will work to fill those requests as best as possible. Bags are provided, although a backpack or additional shopping bags are recommended to transport items home.
The Food Pantry team would like to thank our students and community for their patience and understanding as our operations continue to adjust to changing protocols and situations. We encourage feedback and welcome comments to improve our operations.

Algoma University Student Cookbook
There are many ways in which we can learn about and experience culture first hand, and one of the best ways is through food. Algoma University has such a rich and beautifully diverse community and we want to celebrate it! We have asked students to share with us their favourite recipes and dishes with their fellow students and the Algoma Community, to share with you here on our webpage.
