Our Crowdfunding Groups
At Oklahoma State University, we know that a student's success depends on more than just their academic performance — it’s about having access to basic needs like food, shelter and hygiene. The National College-Health Program calculates that 49.7% of OSU students face some level of food insecurity. For those students, these necessities can be difficult to secure. That's where the Cowboy Family steps in. This #GivingTuesday, you have the opportunity to support OSU’s efforts to address food insecurity and basic needs through a donation to the OSU Food Insecurity Fund. And this year, every gift to the Food Insecurity Fund will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $25,000!
Your gift will support long-term solutions to food insecurity and basic needs on campus and ensure that systems and programs are created to eliminate food insecurity among all OSU students. Help OSU students in need this #GivingTuesday!
"If it wasn't for Pete's Pantry I would have gone hungry more than once. One cannot succeed in university on an empty stomach and the fear of being hungry and alone is so big that can make you question every decision you ever made that got you here. Pete's Pantry always had a door opened for me, but it was more than just a helping hand. It was the way employees did it. Treating us with dignity, respect, and discretion.... Please know how much of a difference it makes in the lives of many students." - OSU International Student
Pete's Pantry is made possible through generous donations from departments, student organizations, and community partners. Since opening, Pete's Pantry has seen over 10,000 visitors, with more than 1,100 visits during the fall 2024 semester.
By giving today, you help create lasting change and ensure that every student has the resources they need to succeed. Thank you for supporting the Cowboy Family!
