Ways to Support

There are many ways to help support students through Grounded Café and the broader Tasmanian University Student Association Food Security Program.

Pay it Forward

Customers can support students directly through our pay-it-forward program by purchasing an extra coffee or meal when placing their order.

These contributions are quietly passed on to students who may need a little extra support.

Small gestures can have a real impact.

Donate to our Food Hubs

TUSA Food Hubs provide students with access to fresh produce, pantry staples, bread and ready-made meals across multiple campuses.

Community support helps us continue providing food relief in ways that are accessible, welcoming and dignified.

Hosting an event

Choosing Grounded Catering helps support student food security initiatives while enjoying fresh, affordable food made locally.

Visit the cafe

Sometimes support looks as simple as choosing us for your daily coffee.

Every visit helps us continue building a café that supports students, strengthens community connection and creates meaningful impact.
