Fueling the Future Food Donations

Edie Crall

For the sixth year, SaddleBrooke, SaddleBrooke Ranch, Eagle Crest, and Oracle volunteers are working together to provide much needed food over Winter Break for students at Mountain Vista School in Oracle. Fueling the Future began and is continuing as a grassroots effort to support students at Mountain Vista.

Many Mountain Vista students rely daily upon school breakfasts and lunches, which are not available during the 15 days of Winter Break, and they may suffer from food insecurity. Fueling the Future will provide non-perishable and fresh food for 50 students and families.

Beginning Friday, Nov. 28, through Friday, Dec. 12, please donate non-perishable foods at the locations listed below. Students at Mountain Vista volunteer on Saturday, Dec. 13, and Monday, Dec. 15, sorting food and filling bags. Distribution to the 50 students will be on Tuesday, Dec. 16.

Suggested donations: peanut butter/jelly, cereal, pasta/sauce, mac & cheese, dry rice, soups, applesauce, juice boxes/bottles, dessert mixes, boxed potatoes, canned fruit, cookies, canned vegetables, crackers, breakfast bars, canned beans, canned tuna, and canned chicken. All non-perishable goods are gratefully accepted.
