Cats’ Cupboard seeks advisory board members

The Cats’ Cupboard advisory board application period is now open.

The American College Health Association National College Health Assessment, conducted at Kansas State University in the spring of 2026, surveyed 1,320 K-State students and found that 38.5 percent, or 508 students, reported low to very low food security, meaning they have limited or uncertain access to adequate food. Cats’ Cupboard: The K-State Food Pantry provides Wildcats with access to food and support through initiatives that promote health, success, well-being and a food-secure future.

Cats’ Cupboard seeks individuals with passion and capacity to advise, assist, support and advocate for programs and initiatives to promote food security on the K-State campus. The advisory board meets in person three times a year and includes K-State students, faculty and staff and area community members. Virtual attendance is allowed only by request. Members are strongly encouraged to attend each meeting, and member terms are three years.

Applications are being accepted through January 1, 2027.
