To combat food insecurity at Creighton, the Creighton Cupboard provides complete meals for undergraduate, graduate and professional students who identify as food insecure. The pantry is supported by Division of Student Life staff and student employees. The effort is also made possible by our partners Creighton Dining and Creighton Students Union.
The Creighton Cupboard is one of more than 650 on-campus food pantries in the United States, according to the College and University Food Bank Alliance.
Funded by the Division of Student Life, the pantry will also accept donations.
