What is Louie’s Cupboard?

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.

Many students face financial challenges while pursuing their education, struggling to afford textbooks, rent, and often basic necessities like food. Louie’s Cupboard helps alleviate some of that burden by offering groceries and meals to those who need them most.
