Jack’s Cupboard - The Yellow & Blue Podcast S1E9

Have you ever struggled to focus on work or school while hungry—only to feel a wave of clarity and energy after eating? Food isn’t just fuel; it’s essential for mental focus and academic success. But for many college students, access to nutritious food isn’t always guaranteed. 

In this episode of “The Yellow & Blue Podcast,” we’re exploring Jack’s Cupboard, South Dakota State University’s on-campus food pantry that provides students with food and essentials—no questions asked. We’ll hear from Kay Arnston, a student leader of Jack’s Cupboard and Keri Pappas, a co-adviser, about how this resource is making a difference. Plus, we’ll take a behind-the-scenes look at how students can access food and how you can get involved through volunteering or donations.

Hunger shouldn’t stand in the way of success. Tune in to learn how Jack’s Cupboard is helping SDSU students stay focused, fueled and thriving.
