The Graduate Computing Society (GCS) is collecting donations for the Health Promotion’s Fresh Food Box program.
This initiative is helping provide free meal kits to graduate Computing students who are struggling with the recent spike in the cost of living and grocery prices. GCS is offering 60 free fresh food boxes to graduate computing students over the course of the summer.
The Health Promotion Hub at Queen’s started the Fresh Food Box program in 2019, but this is the first time GCS is organizing a Fresh Food Box registration specifically for Computing students. The cost of each box is $10.00, and each box contains ingredients to make a fresh and simple recipe of 4-6 servings.
The current iteration of the program will be offered on May 23rd, but GCS is hopeful that with consistent donations they will be able to continue offering the program in June and July.
Health Promotion’s fantastic student staff help choose the recipe, acquire the ingredients, and pack the boxes, making it truly a “for students, by students” initiative.
