Kansas State University Addresses Student Food Insecurity, Seeks Advisory Board Members for Cats’ Cupboard
Kansas State University's Cats’ Cupboard is actively seeking advisory board members to support its food security initiatives on campus. This call for applications follows a 2026 American College Health Association National College Health Assessment, which surveyed 1,320 K-State students. The assessment revealed that 38.5 percent, or 508 students, reported experiencing low to very low food security. This means these students have limited or uncertain access to adequate food. Cats’ Cupboard, the K-State Food Pantry, aims to provide students with access to food and support through various programs designed to promote health, success, well-being, and a food-secure future. The advisory board will meet three times a year in person, with virtual attendance allowed by request, and will include K-State students, faculty, staff, and community members. Applications for the advisory board are being accepted until January 1, 2027.
