About Us

Buckeye Food Alliance members being honored for their involvement in the opening of the Monda Student Resource Center at Pres. Carter’s residence.

Who are we?

Buckeye Food Alliance is a nonprofit, student-led organization dedicated to eliminating food and clothing insecurity at The Ohio State University. We primarily support OSU students by providing volunteers through a variety of campus partnerships, including the Student Food Pantry, the Reid Family Career Closet, and the OSU Student Farm.

In addition to direct service, we work to educate Ohio State’s campus on the realities of food and clothing insecurity and reduce the stigma surrounding basic needs. Through advocacy, outreach, and collaboration, we strive to build a more informed and compassionate community.

We believe that no student should ever have to choose between their education and their essential needs.
