DUSA Food Pantry

22 March 2024

On a tight budget? You can get free groceries on campus at the DUSA Food Pantry

The cost of living is at a high right now and we know this has been tough for many students. That’s why Deakin Student Association is proud to once again bring you the free DUSA Food Pantry.

Conveniently located on campus, this welfare initiative aims to provide you with a range of fresh fruit, veggies and pantry staples to make nutritious meals. So, bring along a bag and grab the supplies you need to boost your health and power your studies!

We also encourage you to flex your cooking skills via tasty, easy and affordable recipes – cook up a storm and tag @yourDUSA to be featured on our socials.

Register to visit the DUSA Food Pantry at your campus

The DUSA Food Pantry will run in Weeks 4, 6, 8 and 10 in Trimester 1 from 11am at specified locations on each campus (until supplies run out). Make sure you keep an eye on the DUSA What’s On webpage as the Food Pantry will be offered on different days across each campus during these weeks, and we have recently introduced a registration process for 2024
