Food drives set for early November will benefit The Cabinet, a University of Wisconsin Oshkosh food pantry located in Reeve Union run by students for students experiencing food insecurity. The Cabinet, which opened in spring 2020, has already helped over 90 students during the fall 2020 semester.
Fraternity and Sorority Life Food Drive
The UWO Fraternity and Sorority Life Community Food Drive will take place in the City of Oshkosh. Select neighborhoods in Oshkosh will receive bags in their mailbox or on their door handles on Nov. 1. The bags will include information about the drive, including a wish list of items for The Cabinet. A QR code will link to The Cabinet webpage. On Nov. 5, area residents are asked to place the bag in front of their door with donated items inside. Students will return to pick up the bags and bring them back to campus to donate to The Cabinet.
To learn more, send an email to Angie Zemke, program adviser for Fraternity and Sorority Life, zemkea@uwosh.edu

Donation boxes will be placed in participating University offices/areas around campus, including the Admissions Office (Dempsey 135), the University Books & More, the Clow Cafe, the Reading and Study Skills and Pollock House. In addition, throughout the year, donations may always be dropped off at the OSA Office (Reeve 208C) and at The Cabinet pantry itself (Reeve Union basement level).
