Our goal is to alleviate food insecurity among SDSU students by providing food and personal care items to Jackrabbits who need them.

Jack's Cupboard

Food Recovery Network is a nationally affiliated organization that recovers leftover food from campus partners and donates it to nonprofits fighting food insecurity, diverting this food from the landfill. Since the organization’s founding in 2019, Food Recovery Network volunteers have saved over 1,500 pounds of fresh food and transported it in reusable containers to nonprofits at SDSU.

Meals are available for pick up at Jack’s Cupboard during operating hours (Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 3-6 p.m.)
