Universities get behind food drive

FoodBank SA is an NGO that collects non-perishable food and other products from wholesalers and retailers and redistributes it to beneficiary NGOs.

The Division of Human Nutrition is organising a food drive via FoodBank SA, together with the University of Stellenbosch and the University of the Western Cape, in order to create an environment of social responsiveness and help the many people who go hungry on a daily basis.

Middle campus: entrance to Bremner building

Groote Schuur Hospital (Old main building): entrance 2 behind the turn styles
