The Open Seat is the only student-led food pantry on campus that supplies any self-identified food insecure UW-Madison students with free nutritious and healthy produce, dairy, canned, and hygiene products. All that is required is a sign-in when you stop in during our pantry hours!
We are located on the third floor (Room 3203) of the Student Activity Center at 333 East Campus Mall.
