The Food Drive

The 2010 OSU Food Drive is just about to begin, but folks here on campus have been helping OSU students and the community through OSU’s Emergency Food Pantry since spring of 2009

If you want to help out Oregon State’s Emergency Food Pantry, as well as celebrate and learn about food,  check out the series of food-oriented feature and documentary films screening from Nov. 23 through June 3. The series’ focus is health and the sustainability of food systems.

All films are free and open to the public, with donations accepted. Suggested donations include nonperishable food items, personal hygiene items and money.
