The Community Cupboard is an on-campus food bank program put together in partnership with the Langara College Foundation, Financial Aid, and the Office for Student Engagement; with the support of the Langara Students’ Union and other funders. It was created to help Langara students with food insecurity. The Community Cupboard gives students the opportunity to anonymously pick up one week’s worth of groceries, which provides approximately 21 meals.
The Community Cupboard is 100% funded through donations, and if you have a bit to share to support the cupboard, please consider making a donation.
Every March is Support our Students month at Langara, which celebrates Langara’s spirit of giving, the generosity of our faculty and staff, and the many things that we do as a community to foster student success. In the last few years, events have included Langara Cooks, the Piggy Bank Pageant, Golden Apples and more.
SOS 2021 will be launching soon.
Traditionally, the hamper program is offered during the holiday season. However, in response to the challenges and needs because of COVID-19, this year, the program is being expanded to offer a hamper to students as they go back-to-school hamper in August.

Women who aspire to study, work, and seek advancement in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields face unique challenges. While the number of women working in STEM careers continues to grow, there still remains inequity in the number of women pursuing educational opportunities and achieving high-level careers with equal pay.
At Langara, we are proud of all the women who have chosen to start their STEM careers with us. 49 Women in Science wants to help break down the barriers many of our students will face as they follow their science dreams. 49 Women in Science will provide philanthropic support, resources, and access to 49 Women in Science mentors to prepare students for a successful STEM career.
The 49 Women in Science Circle brings together successful women who want to support, create opportunities for, and have an impact on young women who study and seek to establish careers in the STEM field. Funds raised by the 49 Women in Science Circle will support and nurture women as they study at Langara and move on to further education and careers.

Studio 58 has built a national reputation for providing experiential learning opportunities for our students, but they come at a cost. In recent years, they have juggled funds in trying to recruit seasoned professionals and mentors and purchasing more up-to-date equipment.
The Annual Giving campaign hopes to raise money throughout the year, allowing Studio 58 to continue providing students with the best educational environment possible to learn theatre arts. Learn more.
The COVID-19 pandemic has drawn our attention to an important issue: not all students have personal access to computers and other online tools. For low-income students, money is limited and is directed to their basic needs. Students do not have the financial means to purchase a laptop or computer
Langara College is starting a Laptop lending service to help students continue their education online and with adequate tools to succeed. The program is looking to start with 50 laptops with a goal to reach 100 devices. The service is set to begin fall 2020.
Help us remove the barriers to education. Donate now.
