Our History

FUEL NKU was created in the Spring of 2013 by social work students as a way to address campus hunger. It started off as a shelf in a faculty member's office to feed a few hungry students. It has grown to a 2,300 square-foot space that provides food and toiletry items to hundreds of students each semester. FUEL NKU has been the model for many other universities in the development of their campus pantries.

FUEL NKU is now a part of the University Connect and Persist team. To learn more about UCAP, click here.
