Swipe Out Hunger
Swipe Out Hunger at South Dakota State University is a food insecurity program for students to use at Larson Commons.
Swipe Out Hunger for the spring 2025 semester is now open.
*Note Swipe out hunger is open all year
- Students experiencing food insecurity can request meals by submitting a meal block request application.
- Applications are reviewed by SDSU's Swipe Out Hunger team. Upon approval, meal swipes are added to the student's account, and the student is notified via email.
- Students who receive Swipe Out Hunger meal swipes can use them until the end of the semester at Larson Commons.
Our goal is to alleviate food insecurity among SDSU students by providing food and personal care items to Jackrabbits who need them.
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.)
