Food Hub Paddington | UNSW

Hello, Please Note Upcoming Changes to Community and Non-UNSW Student Hours and Tickets:

This will prioritise UNSW students and make it more efficient and less waiting times for UNSW students to access Food Hub. The whole sessions are intended for UNSW students and welcoming to members of our community after the first 45 minutes.

The first 45 mins of each session will now be for only UNSW students. Community members and non-UNSW students will be welcome to join them during the following times: 

• Mondays & Wednesdays: 2:45pm to 4:00pm 

• Tuesdays (Paddington Campus), Thursdays (Paddington Campus) & Fridays: 12:45pm to 2:00pm 

Food Hub Paddington operates in the Courtyard at the UNSW Art, Design, & Architecture campus in Paddington. It runs from 12-2 PM on Tuesdays during the term (O Week to Week 10).

Please Read This Carefully so you know what to expect:

FOOD HUB STEP BY STEP

1. Register your spot online via the Arc website or QR code on site (or this humanitix site you're on right now)

2. Bring bags and containers to carry your items

3. Enter through the front - you may need to line up first. Do not enter in the exit.

4. Check in at the front with your QR code sent to you via email

5. A thank you to our volunteers goes a long way - they are dedicated to keeping Food Hub running and we couldn't do it without them

6. When you get home, please store your produce and other items carefully to help them last longer - many items will be ready to eat on the day of collection.

7. We offer items past their BEST BEFORE date that are safe to consume, please see the Australian Standards for Food Safety

From 2025, we won't be accepting single use bags for bulk items or for rice.

THINGS TO BRING:

• Bags, there is plenty of food, so make sure you have enough bags to carry food.

• Small reusable containers for bulk food items like Flour, Sugar, Rice, etc.

• Containers, make sure you bring containers, this is not a typo, it is emphasis

• A little patience; the line can be long, but it is worth the wait.

• Finally, make sure you've brought along some containers because some people still don't bring containers.
