The BUSU Campus Cupboard is an initiative started in 2024 which aims to alleviate the issue of student hunger and food insecurity. The Cupboard provides preserved, dry, fresh, and frozen foods to those in need at a much lower price than supermarkets, and even the dollar store. Several free offerings will also be available to those who most need it.
The Cupboard is located on the ground floor of the KDC building in the old Look Music room.
Open Monday to Friday
10.30am - 2.30pm
Opening on the 17th of September
