During Capstone 2025, we are honoured to be collecting donations for the UBC AMS Food Bank!
“The AMS Food Bank is a food relief service for UBC students in need. We offer a range of perishable and non-perishable foods, along with limited personal hygiene supplies when available. We also provide information on additional support resources in and around Vancouver. The Food Bank receives supplies from generous sponsors, but otherwise relies on community donations to stay stocked. We go by the motto: give when you can, take when you need.”
We will be accepting both monetary and physical donations. Information regarding both options is below:
