The generous support from people like YOU to Louie’s Cupboard not only ensured that NAU students,  and others in our NAU community didn’t go hungry this spring and summer, but also helped set the program up to do even more in the fall. Louie’s Cupboard now has a refrigerator, which allows them to offer fresh produce on the bi-weekly distribution days. They are also planning to expand with Little Louie’s Cupboards across campus in the fall.

Some of NAU’s most loyal and caring donors have come together to create a challenge gift that will match dollar for dollar up to $32,000 gifts made to the NAU Rapid Response Fund, Louie’s Cupboard, and the Lumberjack Emergency Assistance Fund on Giving Day.

Thank you to our match donors for their generosity!

In the last 30 days, we have assisted over 179 lumberjacks in Louie's Cupboard. We have experienced a 66% increase in use compared to this time last year. The Cupboard is able to assist students Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. During these uncertain times it is great to know that we have support from donors like you.

Again thanks for thinking of our students.
