Grounded Café is part of TUSA’s wider Food Security Program, helping students access food in ways that are welcoming, inclusive and community focused.
Profits from the café help support TUSA Food Hubs across lutruwita/Tasmania. Our Food Hubs provide students with free and low-cost access to fresh produce, pantry staples, bread and ready-made meals.
Our Food Hubs rely on a combination of donations, partnerships, volunteers and grant funding to continue supporting students.

“The food support programs have been a lifeline for some of my friends. It has been the difference [between] passing out due to hunger and being able to make it through another day.”
