Commitment to the Community

Osher at ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV is excited to participate in this year’s 2026 CMU Virtual Food Drive! From October 1 until November 6, we are raising money for Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank (GPCFB) to support our neighbors in need.

Now in its 33rd year, this annual initiative is a powerful way for our campus community to make a lasting impact. Every dollar raised goes directly to GPCFB, an organization that has been fighting hunger in our region for over 46 years.

Did you know that as little as $1 can provide three meals? This virtual format allows every dollar to go even further, providing the Food Bank with the flexibility to purchase their most-needed items in bulk.

Help us reach our team goal of $1000 and contribute toward CMU’s overall goal of $100,000!

"Carnegie Mellon has always embraced a commitment to social responsibility in our community. Coming together to support the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank is not only a chance to provide meals and resources but also to strengthen a bond between our campus and the community that sustains us. Each year, it is a delight to see our students, faculty and staff unite to make a meaningful difference in addressing food insecurity in our region." — Jim Garrett, Provost and Chief Academic Officer and Honorary Food Drive Chair
