Initiatives

The Food Insecurity Reality That Spurred the Soupbar

Soup is an affordable comfort, but not every student can afford it consistently. When we saw food insecurity affecting our community, we took action.

The IGNITE Soupbar grew from student advocacy. Too many students were skipping meals or stretching budgets too thin. In partnership with Chartwells and the Faculty of Health Sciences + Wellness, we created a solution: free, nutritious soup available across all three campuses.

Now the Soupbar serves thousands of bowls each semester, making sure no student has to choose between eating well and paying for other essentials.
