About the Process
Any TMU student facing any level of food insecurity (the inability to obtain food that meets your dietary needs) is able to use our services. To access the GFC, you must register as a member.
We now take walk-in appointments! Ask a staff member during Hours of Operation to register. After you fill out your intake forms and confirm your eligibility with us, you can start accessing our food in the same day.
- Make an appointment by booking a time slot in our calendar, through the ‘Schedule’ link.
- Attend your Intake Appointment in-person at the Good Food Centre in the SCC basement, beside CopyRITE.
- Collect your new Membership Card and bring it with you to the SCC to access the Centre!
Eligibility: As of April 2024, the Good Food Centre only admits students under the TMSU, TMAPS, or TMUIC umbrella.
Community Guidelines
- The Food Bank operates on an honesty basis with an open door policy. This means that service users do not need to prove their need for the service.
