Abertaysty 🥑
Abertaysty is a project provided by Abertay Students' Association to offer free food to students.
The food is sourced from FareShare, a charity set up to fight hunger and tackle food waste. Working with FareShare we purchase quality surplus food that is available to us each week.
We try to get a variety of foods for a balanced diet of donated foods each week.
Follow @AbertaySA to find out when the food arrives.
Updated Timetable for January - May 2025
Abertaysty will run once a week every Tuesday, starting 21 January. The location is now: Pop-Up, Abertay Students' Association, Ground Floor of the Library
To make it easier for you, we have two timeslots we alternate each week, see the table below:
