Welcome to the
Privateer Pantry!

We love food, we love talking and we love talking about food! Since 2017, the Privateer Pantry has provided supplemental food support to all currently enrolled 51�Թ�� students. We offer a selection of shelf-stable food and personal care items as well as recipes.

We are located in the Office of Student Affairs, University Center Room 248.

We will pack 10-12 items and contact you by 51�Թ�� email for pickup. Please submit your request at least one to two business days prior to needing your items, and please note that Friday orders may mean Monday pickups.
