FUEL: A Local Mission Aiming to End Child Hunger in Our Community

FuelKids' Vision: To end child hunger in our community.

FUEL is a local mission which provides food to school children who might not otherwise have much to eat over the weekends. We bag this food and then Liberty Elementary School discreetly puts it in each child's backpack on Fridays. Our children and youth will be helping to bag up the food items this year.

If you would like to support this wonderful mission, you may include FUEL on the memo of your donation. Give Here. You may also provide food items. Just remember that these are going to small children who may not have adult support or kitchen resources. All items need to be wrapped as individual servings and openable without a tool (like a can opener, scissors, etc.). Assume the food will not be refrigerated or heated. Nutrition is also key, so focus on protein, fruit, and whole grains.
