• Open from Tuesday - Thursday, 10 AM -  2 PM

Food Bank is a temporary assistance measure to support as many students as possible. Students are limited to one visit per fortnight and 10 items per visit. For those needing regular assistance, please contact foodbank@qutguild.com and we will be able to refer you to other welfare services.

To help this initiative run successfully, we accept and welcome donations.

We accept food donations as long as they are:

• Long life items with an expiry date of at least 3 months or more.
• Must be new, unused and not damaged.
• Must be in original packaging.

If you would like to make a donation (including monetary), please email foodbank@qutguild.com or make a drop off to our Kelvin Grove Office (C Block, Level 2) Monday to Friday 9am-4pm.

We appreciate any help that we can get from donations. Every little bit counts!
