Food support

Researched by the VarsityStart team from official university sources. Last checked 10 October 2026. How we check

The Food Sovereignty Programme, run by Student Affairs, gives monthly grocery packs to registered students who are unfunded, underfunded or temporarily food insecure and who do not live in a catering residence. Demand is rising and the programme relies on donations. Email food@uct.ac.za or contact Student Affairs to apply. We did not find a published application form or deadlines.
