COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Fueling Kids’ Futures Holly was started in November 2014 for the children attending Holly Area Schools. The program is now in the process of sending bags of food home every weekend at all four of the Elementary Schools in the Holly Area School District. This program is a community-based program and is run completely by volunteers to improve the quality of life for over 1,500 “hunger-insecure” children in the Holly area.
Fundraising is on-going to continue and expand the program to all the children in our community that are hungry on the weekends. $160 provides food for one child every weekend throughout the school year. Thanks to our generous family, friends, neighbors, and community partners, this year we have been able to offer the program to all our elementary schools.
We are now providing food to over 375 children each weekend and must raise over $60,000 each year to allow us to keep offering this critical program.
Flaming Pistons Car Club Presents Check to Fueling Kids’ Futures – Holly
On Wednesday, November 13th, representatives for the Flaming Pistons Car Club came to the Fueling Kids’ Futures packing location and presented FKF-Holly with a check to support feeding hunger-insecure children. This is the first year in which the Club has selected our organization to support. Accepting the award on behalf of Fueling Kids Futures – Holly is Vice-chairperson LaChelle Lemmons.
If you are into cars and car shows be sure to check out Flaming Pistons Car Club which is located in Goodrich, Michigan. This is a great group of men and women who enjoy cars and restoring them to their original splendor.
