Students who need immediate food support can access BCITSA’s Food Pantry on the Burnaby campus. This is a free initiative, located on the 2^nd floor of SE2, where members of the BCIT Community can obtain accessible, nutritionally, and culturally appropriate food in a just and ecologically sound manner

The BCITSA Food Pantry relies on the generous donations of our stakeholders and community partners to provide students with free, healthy food options. Learn more about our Donation Guidelines or send a monetary donation to support BCIT students.

The Community Fridge is a safe, low-barrier, and non-judgmental way for staff, students, and faculty to support each other, reduce waste, and help to ensure everyone in our community can feed themselves and their families.

Students may receive a 3-year referral-only membership to shop at this low-cost grocery store that operates from several locations (Burnaby, Vancouver, North Vancouver, Surrey).
