Hungry? Info on the Fleming Food Bank

It's tough to focus in class if you're always hungry.  The Fleming Food Bank is located in the office next to Tim Horton's. It will be open as of October 1st.

There are also fresh produce boxes and "staples" boxes (bread, apples, cheese, etc.) that can be purchased through a sign up system at a reasonable subsidized cost. This is open to anyone.

If you've been struggling to get enough to eat this semster, stop by on Monday to see how they can help out!
