With five satellite locations across campus, SAMRU Care Cupboards build on our existing food security programs by extending anonymous, convenient access to food and personal hygiene supplies. The cupboards feature both refrigerated and non-perishable food storage, microwaves, and essential hygiene products. Cupboards and fridges are re-stocked twice a week. Students are able to access what they need when they need it. A gift today ensures a student has access to food and essentials regardless of circumstance.
The SAMRU Care Cupboards program is not funded by student fees; instead, the program is currently 100% funded by organizational fundraising efforts and SAMRU aims to continue this funding model into the future. It costs approximately $900/ mth to maintain one care cupboard.
