Jacob Clark, C’20

Jacob graduated from Saint Vincent in 2020 with a degree in History. He began his work at the Arnold and Winnie Palmer Foundation, with which he still works part-time, as a historical consultant before joining the Westmoreland County Food Bank in the summer of 2022. At the food bank, Jacob serves as a program coordinator, managing multiple programs that provide vital help to residents of Westmoreland County. Jacob oversees the “Military Share Program,” which gives all veterans the opportunity, regardless of income, to receive supplies of food. He also manages the “Weekend Backpack Program,” which focuses on those students whose only meal may come when they’re at school. Last year, the program provided more than 500 school-aged children with meals over the weekends. Most notably to the Saint Vincent community, he has helped bring the Mobile Markets to campus. Mobile Markets do not only visit college campuses, but when they do, they have a focus on providing college students with fresh fruits, vegetables, and other produce, completely free of cost to the student. This program is fairly new, having just started in the Fall of 2022. Jacob loves being able to assist in the Mobile Markets at Saint Vincent because every trip to campus is like going home.
