SUPPORT AN INTERNATIONAL
STUDENT AND HELP US BE THE
SOURCE OF HOPE AND
SUSTENANCE

3 international students

We understand the unique challenges faced by international students as they navigate life in a new country, juggling the demands of studies, work, and managing student loans. Often, these circumstances force compromises on the quality and quantity of meals, especially when government assistance, subsidized housing, or employment insurance is not accessible due to temporary residence status.

At Sai Dham Food Bank, we are here to support you and address the issue of food insecurity resulting from financial vulnerability.

We firmly believe that no student should go hungry. Therefore, we extend our support to international students, helping them regain stability. Our goal is to assist as many students as possible by providing monthly hamper boxes filled with 10-12 essential items. These items include pantry staples such as whole wheat flour, rice, lentils, salt, sugar, and tea.
