In the mid-1980s, the Students' Union allocated funds to create an emergency student load fund. The fund, which is administered by Student Affairs, is available to students who are experiencing financial difficulty. For more information, contact Answers at 737-7461

The Campus Food Bank

The Campus Food Bank was established in 1996 and is registered as a food bank with the Community Food Sharing Association. The MUN Students' Union provides financial assistance, holds food drives, and donates proceeds of all recycling in the University Centre and Breezeway Bar to the Food Bank. Many departments, clubs, societies and other groups hold food drives and fundraisers throughout the year - it's a great way to help out! The Food Bank is staffed by volunteers, and new volunteers, and new volunteers are always welcome. Donations of food may be dropped off at the Food Bank, which is located in the basement of Corte Real or alternatively at the Students' Union office.

To utilize the Food Bank, students must provide their MCP number or, in the case of out-of-province students, a student number will suffice. The Food Bank can be reached by phone at 737-3467 or by email at foodbank@mun.ca

Legal Aid

The Students' Union offers a free legal service to any student who requires it. A Legal Aid Supervisor is available to talk to students or provide referrals to a lawyer. In this case, the cost of a one-hour consultation will be paid for by the Students' Union. Sessions with the Legal Aid supervisor are not considered extended legal counsel. If you require this service, please contact the Students' Union office at 737-7633.

Student Volunteer Bureau

The Student Volunteer Bureau is a referral agency for students seeking volunteer placements both on and off campus and undertakes special projects to promote volunteering throughout the year. Available on-campus placements include volunteer assistants at the Bureau, Walksafe and SafeDrive Volunteers, Group Leaders for Orientation, and Campus Food Bank Assistants. The Bureau is located in UC-4001 and can be reached by phone at 737-4301 or by email at svb@mun.ca.

Winter Carnival

Winter Carnival is a 10-day event organised each year to give students a break from the winter tedium and the chance to get to know other students through competitive but friendly events. Teams compete for points and prestige in popular events like the Lip Sync, Talent Show, Food Sculpture, Games Night, Trivia Night, and more! Many residence houses and clubs and societies enter teams every year. Winter Carnival takes place in late January or early February. For more information contact the Executive Director of Student Life
