Our Mission:
Eliminate Hunger.
We give Noblesville children nutritious meal packs and break boxes to reduce food insecurity and promote the educational value of nutrition.
Our Mission
We eliminate hunger among Hamilton County students by providing food insecure youth with nutritious meal packs, promoting the educational value of nutrition, increasing access to local food, and instilling hope. In doing so, Fueled for School ensures that food relief has a more meaningful, sustainable impact for undernourished students and local producers.
Our Impact
Nearly 25% of all Noblesville Schools students k-12 experience food insecurity. In 2017, 136 Noblesville Schools elementary school students experiencing food insecurity received nutritious weekly meal packs. In the 2018-2019 school year, we doubled our impact and served around 350 students almost weekly with a 2.5lb weekend meal pack containing easy-to-prepare foods. The 2019-2020 school year brought increased numbers as reflected in our Covid 19 relief. At the height of the pandemic, we served 600+ children weekly meal boxes to ensure that they had enough to eat during school closures. Once school resumed, the Fueled for School team returned to weekend meal packs and added holiday break and summer meal programming.
