While food insecurity isn’t always noticeable, it’s an issue that impacts a significant number of college students. Creighton Cupboard helps address this issue by providing a range of nonperishable food items, as well as hygiene products, for students at our Omaha campus. It’s supported by Student Life staff and student employees, and it is made possible by support from our partners in Creighton Dining and Creighton Students Union. Creighton Cupboard is located at the Student Health Education and Compliance Office (KFC 225).
The United States Department of Agriculture defines food security levels as shown in the graphic on the right. Creighton Cupboard supports undergraduate, graduate and professional students experiencing any form of food insecurity. If that describes you or someone you know, please submit a request for services.
You can shop Creighton Cupboard during our open hours or pick up customized biweekly orders. Orders can be picked up in one of two ways. Either method will require you to provide your Creighton Cupboard ID number, and orders must be picked up within three business days.
Note: If you need items before the next pickup, please contact us.
Cass Plaza is where you will find parking for Creighton Cupboard pickups.
Each food pickup order contains at least 17 items:
These items are available in the pantry but are not included in orders. Note that some gluten-free options may be stocked; other items may also be available based on donations.
We collect demographic data about the students we serve, which is analyzed to determine where we have gaps in service. We also use students’ NetIDs to communicate via email about order status.
Creighton Cupboard accepts donations of nonperishables and personal hygiene items, but we do not accept expired items. Below are lists of current high-demand items, as well as those we continually need. If you have questions or would like to hold a donation drive, please email Creighton Cupboard or call us at 402.546.6979.
