Community Eats

A by-donation community lunch!

BYOC: Bring your own container

Fridays from 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm @ Sprouts Cafe

This initiative strives to decrease edible food waste while building community and awareness. Every Friday, we serve hot, nutritious lunches for free to hundreds of people in the UBC community from 12-2:00 pm at Sprouts Cafe. Bring your own container to eat out of!

Local grocery stores and bakeries generously give us food that would otherwise be thrown away, yet are perfectly safe and good to eat! Our kind volunteers donate their time on Thursday evenings to cook a large community meal. 

Here is a current list of our current wonderful donors:

• Van-Whole Produce

• Karen’s Dreamy Bakeshop

• Greater Vancouver Food Bank

I need my own container?!
To make this lunch sustainable for our volunteer team we cannot use our dishes for the meal. Everyone is encouraged to bring a reusable container or plate to eat from and to take some food home. Don’t forget to bring some utensils too. If you forget yours one week, don’t worry, we will have a supply of a few reusable containers for you to use :)

Community Eats cannot exist without the help of its volunteers - checkout our volunteer applications sent out at the start of every term for more info on how to help out!

Email communityeats@ubcsprouts.ca if you would like more information. 

Come eat a delicious warm meal with our community!
