Yesterday, we proudly celebrated the dedication of the Wright Family Food Pantry at LSUA, a powerful reflection of Stephen and Mona Wright’s extraordinary generosity and commitment to our students.

Because of their support, this pantry will provide more than just meals; it will offer dignity, stability, and peace of mind to students facing food insecurity. When students don’t have to worry about where their next meal is coming from, they can focus on what truly matters: their education, their goals, and their future.

This is what community looks like. This is what impact feels like.

Because of you, LSUA Giving Day 2026 was extraordinary.

Your generosity demonstrated something powerful: LSUA is more than a university—it is your university. The overwhelming support we received from students, alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and community members shows just how deeply this institution is woven into the strength and future of our region.

Every gift made on Giving Day helps LSUA continue delivering excellence for the students we serve. Your investment strengthens academic programs, expands opportunities, and ensures that students across Central Louisiana can pursue their education close to home.

Most importantly, your support sends a clear message to our students that our community believes in them.

On behalf of our students, faculty, and staff, thank you for standing with LSUA and making this Giving Day such a remarkable success.

Today is Giving Tuesday! LSUA Foundation has partnered with Central Louisiana Community Foundation to help raise money in Cenla. We hope that you will participate in this worldwide day of generosity! https://sharecenla.org/nonprofit/lsua-foundation
