Pitt Pantry
Dedicated to ensuring that all members of the Pitt community have regular access to a balanced and nutritious diet, the Pantry hosts regular shopping hours for Pitt community members to obtain food and services. It is located in the O’Hara Student Center kitchen (4024 O’Hara Street), where all members of the Pitt community can visit to select items of need.
Look for the Pitt Pantry food lockers in Tower C Lobby. Monday-Friday, surplus food is recovered from The Eatery and packaged into balanced meals. Students may email pantry@pitt.edu to request ordering access. Once registered, all you need to do is place your order through the Transact Mobile Ordering app.
