OCC Food Pantry

OCC's free Food Pantry is located in the Community Care Hub that is open to all students (on/off campus and workforce development students) and is supported by student volunteers. We can provide you with short-term food assistance and we can connect you with community and government resources that will help you with long-term food assistance.

Students are able to utilize the Food Pantry once every 14 days. No appointment is necessary, but if you would like to make one, please call (315) 498-2675. We are located in Gordon room 230.
