We believe in nourishing bodies so minds can grow.
Formerly known as Backpack Coalition, Fueled is a student-centered food security program ignited by LEF’s mission to ensure every child reaches their full potential.
We provide for students both through meal bags and in-school pantries, serving more than 40 schools throughout Loudoun County.
So Students Can Focus on Learning
Through creating community connections, thoughtful product sourcing, and swiftly responding to critical needs, Fueled works to create equitable opportunities for LCPS students.
We strive to empower students from historically marginalized populations by providing culturally appropriate foods through dignified means.
With the generous support of our donors, volunteers and partners, the Loudoun Education Foundation supports more than 2,000 students and their families each week through meal bags and in-school pantries.
Nutritious meals are the foundation for children's development, education, and overall well-being.
Volunteer
Join LEF in our mission of empowering LCPS students to reach their full potential. Volunteers are essential to Fueled's operations, and we could not provide this support without the generosity of our community members.
Volunteer opportunities include 1) meal pack events for individuals or groups, 2) delivering pantry items to schools, or 3) host a food or hygiene drive. For private group volunteer events, please complete this form.
Please note: The warehouse is located at 448 S King St, Leesburg, VA.
Host a Food & Hygiene Drive
We are always accepting donations! Consider hosting a food or hygiene drive with your office, neighborhood, school, team, or organization. You may host a drive for any length of time. Once it is completed, contact us to schedule delivery arrangements.

Loudoun Education Foundation's Backpack Coalition

Dominion Energy recently provided a $10,000 grant to Loudoun Education Foundation to support its Backpack Coalition program, which is all about addressing food insecurity. Backpack Coalition is a program of the Loudoun Education Foundation that provides weekend meals to food-insecure students and their families. We provide more than 1,000 meals each week to food-insecure students and their families, empowering them to focus on school instead of hunger. We support schools’ existing weekend meal programs or create and sustain them at schools that previously did not have one. The goal is to ensure that all students are fed so they can focus on their education. The organization also collects hygiene products and provides for discreet distribution for both services. Kari Murphy, Education Foundation’s Director of Development is our guest.

Your monetary donations to LEF's Fueled program goes further than your trip to the grocery store. LEF has more purchasing power because of our unique relationships with local food banks.
This means more students and families benefit.
