THE WEEKEND GAP
When school meals pause,
our community steps in.
For some children, the meals they receive at school are their most dependable source of food. Fuel Kids helps bridge the gap when the school week is over.
Local churches, businesses, and volunteers work alongside schools to send food home quietly, thoughtfully, and with every child’s dignity in mind.
