Visit the Campus Cupboard

Walk-in

1. When you visit the walk-in Campus Cupboard in Simmons Hall (Lobby, Room 102C/D), you will be asked to present your Zipcard. Upon your first visit, we'll ask you to create a Cupboard account which collects some basic information so that we can continue to provide this program. A cupboard student assistant will help you create a Cupboard account and accommodations are available.
2. Just like any store, you will be given a shopping basket and breifed on the space guidelines.
3. Once you’ve collected the needed items, you’ll then inform a cupboard student assistant to check out.
4. Unlike a grocery store, we don’t collect any money…we just want to make sure items are recorded and you selected items within the appropriate limits.

Appointments:

• Is this your first time visiting the Cupboard Walk-in? Our new *scheduling* option allows you to schedule a 30 minute, private shopping experience for your first time visiting. Our staff will walk you through the process every step of the way without the wait time! Schedule your first Cupboard Walk-in visit here.
• To ensure you have enough time create a cupboard account, shop, and ask questions, please arrive promptly at your scheduled time.

Pick-up

We offer an online ordering and pick up option known as a Zips Care Package for enrolled students.

1. Simply click here to schedule a pick up time and select your items. Upon your first order, you'll be asked to create a Cupboard account using your MyAkron login which collects some basic inforamtion so that we can continue to provide this program.
2. We’ll bundle your items and have them ready for pick-up at the Cupboard desk in Simmons Hall, Lobby or Cupboard locker.
3. You will receive an order confirmation email and a reminder email regarding your package.
4. When you arrive, simply present your Zipcard to confirm your identity for the items and be on your way.
