What is the Fuel Up "Fill-A-Bag" Project?

In order to provide enough food for the 10-day Spring Break for each of the children who participate in Fuel Up at PHS, we provide a list of shelf-stable items and ask members of the community to shop for those items for a specific child. While people won’t know the child's name, they will know whether they are shopping for a boy or a girl and which grade the child is in. Many of our previous “fill-a-bag” sponsors have said that this project is very meaningful for their families, and a great way to serve the community!

How Can I Participate?

• Sign up below by Friday, March 16th to fill a bag. If you are filling more than one, please sign up once for each bag you will fill. So, if you sign up for two bags, your name should be listed 2 times, if 3 bags then 3 times, etc.
• Our Program Coordinator will then send you an email (within ~2 days) with all the information you need to start shopping : "Fuel Up number," gender, and grade of the child(ren) whose bag(s) you've signed up to fill, along with a detailed shopping list.
• You simply shop for the items on the list, label brown paper grocery bags containing the items on the list with your student's Fuel Up number, and drop them off in the Perry Harrison School lobby beginning March 21st at 8am and no later than 10am on Friday, March 23rd. (Please contact the Fuel Up Program Coordinator at 
  programcoordinator@fuelupkids.org if you need to make alternate arrangements.)

May I "Adopt-A-Bag" in Honor of a Friend, Family Member or co-worker?

We have honorarium cards available for download here, which tell the recipient that you've given a gift in their honor to Fuel Up at Perry Harrison School. It explains who our program serves and how it works. In addition to receiving a cool alternative gift, all honorees are listed on our website and in our Annual Report. Email our Program Coordinator at programcoordinator@fuelupkids.org to arrange a gift in honor of another.
