Our mission at FUEL is to engage our campus and community in the fight against hunger. Our goal is to enrich the lives of students we serve by providing nutritional assistance and other useful items to students. We provide a compassionate, confidential, and safe environment that respects dignity. It is our aspiration to educate and facilitate dialogue in regards to hunger at Northern Kentucky University.

 

 

Hunger affects too many students. Our student volunteers and field practicum students have coordinated donation drives and hunger awareness events in the community, and helped to establish partnerships with other campus departments and groups. Faculty and staff members have worked to advocate and organize within our campus, state, and region. FUEL NKU has been the model for several other universities in the development of their own campus pantries. Currently, our FUEL NKU team is assessing best practices through the use of research.
