Food Collective Centre

The Food Collective Centre is a space that aims to empower and support Mac Bread Bin users through the choice of selection. By using a self service format, Mac Bread Bin Partners* have the opportunity to pick the non-perishable food, and hygiene products that they need - at no cost.

Operating Hours:

Monday through Thursday from 11:30 am - 3:30 pm*

*Currently closed for the summer.

We hope that this space will help break the stigma surrounding food banks and encourage not just students, but the community to learn, experience, and empower one another.

- Service Partners*: please fill out the Welcome Form for your first time using the FCC or Locker of Love.
