FUEL for Families

We hope to provide a nutritious meal at least once a month to an average of 200 individuals whose children are being treated at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. Each meal will serve at least 200 individuals who need nourishment as well as the emotional support of taking a break and meeting other families whose children are being treated at the Children’s Hospital. Ultimately, the FUEL for Families program will enable parents and siblings of sick children to be more supportive of their sick relatives. Because the Children’s Hospital has strict guidelines about serving meals within the hospital, we have found vendors who will work with us to keep costs between $7.50 per person for each meal, or an average of $2,000 per meal. You can make a difference in the lives of many families and children by making a donation of $2,000 to provide a meal or an incremental donation of any amount to be used in conjunction with other donor gifts to provide a meal.
