Friendlier is helping Humber to reduce waste by reducing single-use packaging from entering landfills. Since the Friendlier program was launched, Humber has recycled 380,209 single use Friendlier containers. Let’s keep the momentum going!
Humber is expanding that positive impact with Friendlier to tackle food insecurity being experienced by students.
Did you know that you can donate your Friendlier deposits to the Humber Food Security Fund? This fund helps support Humber students currently experiencing food insecurity by offering a subsidy equivalent to $5 per day to dine on campus for the entire semester. If you become aware of a student is currently experiencing food insecurity and you feel this fund might be the right support, feel free to direct the student to seek assistance by emailing care@humber.ca or refer them by completing the online referral form.
Food insecurity is an issue that can impact everyone. By donating your deposits from returned friendlier containers, your impact can be bigger than you think.
Here's how it works:
- Purchase your Friendlier meal and pay the included 0.50 cent deposit
- Enjoy your meal and scrape any leftovers into the organics bin
- Scan the QR code on the back of the container using the Friendlier app (download on Apple or Android)
- Return your container to a blue Friendlier collection bin
- Instead of redeeming your deposit, choose to donate the proceeds to the Humber Student Food Security Fund within the Friendlier app
Use Friendlier and make a difference today. For questions about Humber’s Friendlier program feel free to contact sustainability@humber.ca.
