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 to alleviate food insecurity across our campus by meeting the basic needs of the campus community. Pete's Pantry is centrally located on campus in the Student Union. In Summer 2023, Pete's Pantry acquired its healthy pantry certification from the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.

The concern:

  • 14.5% of Oklahoma households are food insecure. 
  • Hunger costs Oklahoma over $1.4 billion each year through increased illness and decreased   academic achievement alone. 
  • 49.7% of OSU students face some level of food insecurity. 
  • In 2021, food insecurity at OSU was 12% higher than the national average. 

Through making a gift the Food Insecurity Fund, you will make a direct IMPACT towards providing necessary resources for students to ensure the Cowboy Family never goes hungry. Pete's Pantry provides many food, household, and hygiene options for students. All gifts towards this fund will provide the supplies needed to keep Pete’s Pantry stocked for students.

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

When you support Food Insecurity, you help shape the future of Oklahoma State University! By contributing during Give Orange, you make our future a brighter orange!
