We're Giving Thanks: Access Free Food, Clothes & More

Free breakfasts, snacks at the MSA desk, and a clothing thrift pop-up

Thanksgiving weekend is almost here, and so are the deadlines, midterms, and grocery bills that come with the fall season. To make this difficult time of the semester a little easier for you, your Sheridan Student Union has food at every campus, a free breakfast once a month from October to December, and a thrift pop-up to stretch your budget. Here's where to find it all.

Never go hungry on campus 🫂


Stop by the Member Service Ambassadors' desk at any of our three campuses between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM and ask for non-perishable food items and snacks. Our MSAs can also tell you about upcoming food events that can ease the financial burden.

Need more than a snack?

If financial hardship is affecting your studies or your life outside class, a student advisor can talk through your options. Visit the Sheridan Hub or Student Advisement on Sheridan Central to get started.
If your need is urgent and goes beyond what we can offer right now, please reach out to community resources in your area, like your local food bank or community supports.

Free breakfast, on us 🍳 🍎

Start your morning with a free breakfast from the SSU. We're serving free breakfast to all our students once a month from October to December. Stay tuned for more details and the menu, or follow us @SSUHungry for immediate food-related updates!

Thanksgiving closure 🌸

All the SSU spaces, food services, and offices will be closed on Monday, October 12 for Thanksgiving. We will be back on October 13th at 9:00 A.M.

If you need to talk to someone, you can always access the Maple Assistance Program and talk to a trusted professional available 24/7, covered by your current Health and Dental Plan for domestic and OHIP-eligible students.

It's not just food: SSU Thrift pop-up 👗
