Oak Tree Food Pantry

We are Nazareth's on-campus food pantry, serving students, staff, and faculty.

Need resources?

During this stressful time, the Oak Tree Pantry is here to support you.

We have a fully stocked pantry complete with all of the staples you need! You can find eggs, milk, yogurt, granola bars, pasta, peanut butter, soap, and much more on the pantry shelves. 

If you are interested in perishable items (milk, eggs, or yogurt), please email Brian at bmcgaha1@naz.edu by Thursday of each week and the order will be ready the following Thursday.

Nazareth community members can come to the pantry and take any five items at no cost every week! 

Don't need food? We can connect community members to outside resources based on a number of needs including:

  • housing 
  • food 
  • community centers 
  • transportation

Location: Colie's Cafe Kitchen, lower level of George Hall. Enter from George Residence Hall parking lot (O Lot) or through the main entrance of George Hall;  just follow the signs to Colie's Cafe.

Summer 2025

If you have needs for Summer, please email Brian McGahan.

On-Campus Delivery Options 

If you would be more comfortable with a delivery option, please email oaktree@mail.naz.edu and we coordinate with you so that we can deliver/drop off a bag for you on campus! 

Swipe Out Hunger

Swipe Out Hunger provides 20 meal swipes that can be used in the Dining Commons, Millies, Cabaret, or Roost.

Students may self-nominate to receive Swipe Out Hunger meal swipes using this Swipe Out Hunger Request Form. Within 48 hours of submitting the form, you will be contacted to discuss your request to ensure this program is a right fit and that you are connected to campus resources.

Want to help?

The Oak Tree Food Pantry is completely student-run and we are always interested in getting more people involved with our team! Email us and we can figure out how you can get involved!

Thank You!

We would like to thank Campus Operations and Brian McGahan for helping open and maintain the pantry, and the Social Work Department, Weider Community Engagement, Health and Counseling Center, and Sodexo for their continued support.
