July 15, 2021 — Northern Kentucky University's on-campus food pantry and student community center, FUEL NKU, received $15,000 as part of the Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky's Coronavirus Relief Fund.
FUEL NKU helps address food insecurity on across the university. Since 2013, FUEL NKU has provided food and essentials to students in a compassionate, confidential and safe environment. The support will help FUEL NKU purchase food and basic goods for students through summer months.
“On behalf of Northern Kentucky University, I would like to thank Horizon Community Funds for their generosity and commitment to student success,” said NKU College of Health and Human Services Dean and Professor Dale Stephenson. “This gift provides relief to students in need and brings them one step closer to earning a college degree and becoming contributing members of our campus community.”
