Your Gift Today Provides Essentials for the NAU Community

Louie’s Cupboard is a vital on-campus food pantry located in the Lumberjack CARE Center at Northern Arizona University. It provides free access to food and essential needs items for NAU students, staff, and faculty facing food insecurity or financial hardship.

Last year, demand grew significantly—serving 31% more people than the previous year. As the need continues to rise, your generosity helps us ensure no Lumberjack has to choose between food and their education.

Help us reach our $30,000 goal to keep Louie’s Cupboard stocked and ready to serve this fall.

The Impact of Your Gift

Your donation makes an immediate and meaningful difference by:

• Supporting biweekly food distributions that include nonperishable goods, fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, meat, and hygiene items.
• Funding sack lunches, frozen meals, and meal swipe support during non-distribution weeks.
• Providing a reliable safety net for hundreds of Lumberjacks in critical need.

Together, we’re reducing food insecurity at NAU—ensuring an empty stomach never stands in the way of a student’s success.

What Students Are Saying

“Louie’s Cupboard helps so much. It’s a relief to know that every two weeks I can get food and extra necessities.”
“I live off campus and don’t have a car. Money is very tight. By using Louie’s Cupboard, I can save up to a month’s rent.”
“Louie’s Cupboard has been a game-changer. By cutting my grocery bill in half, I can focus more on my studies.”

Your gift today provides more than food—it provides dignity, support, and the chance for every Lumberjack to thrive.
