Fueling the future with meals and supplies!

Our mission has always been rooted in standing with our community - especially those who need extra support. From emergency rental assistance and transitional living to low-income housing and cold-weather shelters, and now, feeding hundreds of children year-round, we show up where we’re needed most.
We never shy away from the needed work, because many of us have been there ourselves. It’s our lived experience that fuels our commitment. We don’t judge or look down - we offer support, dignity, and opportunities for a better tomorrow.
How You Can Help Fuel the Future
Right now, we’re collecting back-to-school supplies for children across Anchorage - the same students who receive our weekend meal bags during the school year and summer lunches through our food program.
Here’s how you can help:
Donate school supplies like backpacks, pencils, notebooks, folders, and more to 921 W 6th Ave
Volunteer your time to help assemble supply bags

It only takes one act of kindness to help launch a student into a successful school year.
Summer Food Program is Still Going
Thanks to your support and word-of-mouth, Rocket Fuel’s summer food program is reaching more children than ever - offering free weekday lunches across the community. We’ll keep going until the first bell rings - and after that, weekend meal bags will resume during the school year.
Together, we’re fueling futures - one meal, one backpack, one child at a time.
With gratitude,
