Petey’s Pantry is a donation funded Food Pantry formed from a subcommittee of the Student Government Association. The purpose of Petey’s Pantry is to provide a healthy and sustainable environment in which all Oglethorpe students, regardless of income, are being offered food, water and supplies necessary to maintaining a happy and healthy experience at Oglethorpe.
All Oglethorpe students enrolled in the current semester are eligible to place and receive orders. If you do not meet this requirement, please email [email protected] so that we can connect you to additional resources.
While the Food Pantry is need-blind and does not require income or financial aid information to be served, in order to be able to make our supplies last and meet the current high demand, we ask that you consider whether the Food Pantry is right for you.
The Food Pantry should be used by any student who:
- is food insecure
- may be facing a change in employment status
- is currently in quarantine or isolation without the financial means to order food
Orders can be placed through this form!
Petey’s Pantry has non-perishable foods and drinks, as well as personal care products and toiletry items like toothpaste, razors, deodorant and more. When filling out the order form, you will be able to see in-stock products.
*We’ll be launching refrigerated and frozen items by early March and will keep you informed.
Nothing! Petey’s Pantry is completely free to all eligible students.
At this time, you can expect to place two-three orders a month. Please email [email protected] if you have questions or need additional support.
Fill out the online feedback form.
The Food Pantry is located on the first floor of the TLCC, just past the commuter lockers.
