Earlier this month, the Flagstaff Family Food Center hosted our third annual Northern Arizona Anti-Hunger Summit at Grace Church. Each year we bring together the people who work on hunger day in and day out - food bank employees, farmers, dietitians, health care providers, faith leaders, and decision-makers.

Louie's Cupboard got its start in 2012 as a class project at NAU focused on social movements. Since then, it's grown into a vital campus resource, now serving hundreds of students, staff, and faculty each year.

On Thursday, September 3, Flagstaff Family Food Center and our partners throughout the region will gather for the 2026 Northern Arizona Anti-Hunger Summit, bringing together community leaders, advocates, and partners to strengthen our region’s response to hunger.

Flagstaff Family Food Center is the recipient of an anonymous and very generous $1 million gift that will allow us to dramatically increase access to nutritious groceries to residents of rural and Tribal communities throughout northern Arizona.

At a time when more families are turning to us for support, Flagstaff Family Food Center is facing what's known as the "summer slump" - and we need your help.

We have a lot of good news to share with you from Flagstaff Family Food Center! I'm grateful for this opportunity to let you know about some new faces and new roles that are being filled by our dedicated team who supports our shared mission.
