We Can’t Do It Without Your Support!
Thank you so much for being a supporter of the OU Food Pantry. Our pantry runs on monetary and in-kind donations, so the work we do is not possible without this amazing community. Keep reading to see the impact that your time, donations, and support have had on the OU community!
Here are some memories from our team this year!
This Year We…
Served over 14,700 households - averaging 500 households every week
Recovered over 8,000 pounds of produce from Crest Foods that would have otherwise gone to waste and 4,000 meals from OU dining halls that would have been thrown away
Purchased over 63,000 pounds of food to keep our shelves stocked every week
Hosted 3 FREE kidney screenings in our pantry for the community
Held a 5K with over 250 runners that raised $4,000
Limited Edition Merchandise Fundraiser!
Support the OU Food Pantry by purchasing some of our new merchandise! This is a limited time campaign, so you must purchase by April 30th. A few dollars from every purchase will be donated to the pantry, making this a great opportunity to support and represent our cause! There are t-shirts, crewnecks, and sweatshirts in four different color variations starting at only $15!!
See You This Fall!
Although the school year is coming to a close, the pantry stays open all summer! We are open on Tuesdays throughout the summer to continue serving the needs of the OU community. This means that our executive team and volunteers will still be hard at work behind the scenes. We can’t wait to get our operations back to full capacity this fall with our brand new team!
