Jack's Cupboard combats food insecurity by ensuring those students who struggle financially to purchase food are provided this free resource supported by students, faculty and staff. It is available to all students with a student ID. Verification of financial need is not required; however, based on the statement of acknowledgement posted in the Cupboard, anyone who uses the Cupboard does so because they are in need and are not just taking advantage of the resource. Jack's Cupboard is located on campus and is open all year round. Jack's Cupboard works to minimize any stigma for students who utilize its resources, by creating a warm, welcoming environment.
