Food Insecurity

Help make sure no student is food insecure.

The Food Insecurity Fund ensures students at Oklahoma State access to essential food and personal care products to support their well-being & success. Pete's Pantry, OSU’s free on-campus pantry, works to alleviate food insecurity by providing shelf-stable items, fresh produce—including OSU Student Farm produce— and frozen/refrigerated items.

49.7% of OSU students face some level of food insecurity. We asked students how Pete’s Pantry has impacted their experience, some responses were:

"It gave peace of mind that I wouldn't have to worry about food."
"Pete's Pantry helps me feel supported and motivated."
"Pete's Pantry helped me through the hardest times. It helped me know that I will for sure have food in my belly."

Your gift makes it possible for us to provide a quality resource, so no student goes hungry.

For more information about the basic needs resources offered to students, please visit the Pete's Pantry website.
