The Wisconsin Union is proud to partner with The Open Seat Food Pantry on the 2025 Limited-Edition Mini Terrace Chair, now available at Memorial Union and Union South Badger Markets and online in the Terrace Store!
The Open Seat Food Pantry strives to provide healthy and nutritious food and hygiene products for students at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. They aim to ensure all students can focus on their success rather than the source of their next meal.
A portion of the proceeds of each chair sold will help The Open Seat nourish 1,500 UW–Madison households monthly.

More About The Open Seat Food Pantry
Founded in the spring of 2016, The Open Seat is a food pantry run by students, for students. The organization strives to provide healthy and accessible sources of food, personal-care goods, and household products to any enrolled student in need.
Each year, the number of students visiting The Open Seat Food Pantry has increased and often doubled as the number of students affected by food and resource insecurity grows. With this dramatic increase comes an equally dramatic rise in the pantry’s need for financial support. Thanks to their partnership with Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin, every dollar given is worth double the groceries.
Any UW–Madison student is eligible to use the pantry. Visit the FAQ to learn more about The Open Seat or email openseat@asm.wisc.edu with questions.
