Student AffairsThe Swipe it Forward (SIFQ) program provides students in financial need with short-term, urgent support for access to nutritious meals (access to Queen's dining halls). Short-term can be defined as up to 6 to 8 weeks. It is meant to support food insecurity which according to Health Canada is “The inability to acquire or consume an adequate diet quality or sufficient quantity of food in socially acceptable ways, or the uncertainty that one will be able to do so.”
