ZipAssist Campus Cupboard Fund
The ZipAssist Campus Cupboard Fund, originally named Zips Pantry, was established in 2013 to help University of Akron students in need with access to the necessities of daily living. The fund was revised in 2021 to reflect the name change of the program and to better reflect the fund's purpose.
