Support CLU Students Facing Food Insecurity—Every Meal Matters

At California Lutheran University, students are striving for a brighter future, but for too many, hunger stands in the way. Food insecurity is a reality on our campus, students juggling academics, work, and life shouldn’t have to wonder where their next meal is coming from.

That’s where we step in. Community Cupboard provides meals and essential support to CLU students experiencing food insecurity, ensuring they can focus on their education without the burden of an empty stomach. Our $20,000 ask will not only provide meals to students but will also assist us in moving and retrofitting the cupboard to a more accessible space for students near the student union. In this space we will be able to offer not only meal assistance but also interview appropriate attire and hygiene supplies to help students take the necessary steps toward a successful future. 

With your generosity, we can turn struggle into hope. 

Join us in nourishing futures—donate today and help CLU students thrive.
