Story
As we enter the holiday season, we are proud to launch our annual fundraising campaign to buy groceries for Fanshawe students in need in partnership with The Sharing Shop, our on-campus food bank.
Students are particularly vulnerable to food insecurity. More than 10% of students have accessed The Sharing Shop this school year. As we all struggle with high prices, any donation to support students makes a difference.
Watch this short video to learn why your support is important.
Impact
From now until November 22nd, make a secure online donation to help provide grocery gift cards to Fanshawe Students in need.
We aim to provide one day’s worth of groceries for at least 1,500 students in need. Here’s how your donation can help:
$20 – will provide a student with groceries for one day
$100 – will cover a week’s worth of groceries for a student
$500 – will ensure a student has groceries for an entire month
And thanks to the generosity of The Fanshawe College Alumni Association, all donations up to $20,000 will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling the impact of your gift!
Donating to The Sharing Shop, Fanshawe College’s on-campus food bank, not only supports students who are in crisis need of food support but funds ongoing programming to mitigate food insecurity and ensure that students have full bellies to focus, learn and be a successful Fanshawe College student.

Your support will go a long way in easing the financial burdens so many of our students are currently facing. Any amount you can contribute will have a meaningful impact.
Thank you for giving back to the Fanshawe community!
