What is Fuel 4 Kids?
Fuel 4 Kids is a food subsidization program designed to feed those children whose only food source may be the food they are receiving at school. History shows children fed by our program experience increased academic scores, are better citizens in the classroom, and are more likely to come to school every day.
Partnering with schools in our community, specific foods are gathered and placed into grocery style bags. The bags are then delivered to schools and placed directly into the backpacks of the children. The children are selected by the schools, not based on income, but on signs of hunger.
