“It’s Really Awesome”

Hannah and her partner recently moved back to the area after spending a few years in Texas with family. Hannah is a student at Northern Kentucky University working to finish her degree.

While the couple is grateful to be back in the tristate, they’re trying to make it on their own. And it has been difficult. With school responsibilities, Hannah hasn’t been able to work.

Although her partner currently works two jobs, they worry about not having enough food. That’s why Hannah is so thankful for the student pantry, Fuel NKU, which is supported by Freestore Foodbank and kind friends like you.

Because of your generosity, Hannah says she can secure nearly 80% of the food they eat when she visits Fuel NKU.

“It’s huge,” Hannah says. “And it’s nice being able to come twice a week.”

Hannah especially likes that she can “shop” for all the essentials she needs. “It really does bring peace of mind,” Hannah says, tearing up. “I can pay bills, and I can [get] groceries. But now I am not stressing about it. So, it’s really awesome just getting to feel safe, feel secure.”

Thank you for opening your heart and supporting people in our community like Hannah!
