Located in room 343 of the JDUC, the AMS Food Bank serves confidential and non-judgmental food service to members of the Queen’s community. We aim to provide our patrons with food services in the most comfortable environment possible. We operate mainly on an opt-outable student fee from both the AMS and the SGPS, along with donations from the Public Service Alliance of Canada (Local 901) and other
community organisations. Our funding primarily goes towards the regular purchase of healthy foods, including produce, eggs, meat, and dairy products. The Food Bank provides a reliable and confidential service to ensure that Queen’s students and postdocs can be healthy and productive as they pursue academic achievement. We also seek to address the underlying causes of poverty so as to alleviate, and ultimately eliminate poverty among Queen’s community members. The Food Bank also works closely with other food-focused organizations in the Queen’s and Kingston community.
