Thanks to the support of the Hamilton County community, Indianapolis’ WalkerHughes Insurance of Indianapolis has officially awarded a $10,000 donation to Noblesville’s Fueled for School, a local organization dedicated to eliminating 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.
The $10,000 award will go straight towards Fueled for School’s summer meal program and purchasing food for students. The $10,000 donation would sponsor all the children in the program for eight weeks, or it would provide 2,000 weekend meal kits for students in the program. Additionally, the donation will support increasing facility size to store more food.
Stephanie Marsh, Director of Client Engagement for WalkerHughes Insurance, originally received a $5,000 donation for Fueled for School thanks to a submission process with Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance through their 2023 Make More Happen awards. A story of their local partnership was featured on the official Make More Happen microsite, where WalkerHughes insurance had the opportunity to raise an additional $5,000 by conducting a local awareness campaign for the nonprofit.
Together with the community, the goal was met increasing the total donation to $10,000 for Fueled for School.
