Milford Schools is proud to announce a new partnership with Fuel for Flight, a program created to support Milford families by providing weekend food supplies to students enrolled in the Free and Reduced Lunch Program. This new initiative is designed to ensure students have access to the nutrition they need to continue learning, growing, and thriving beyond the school week.
We are grateful for this opportunity to bring additional support to our families. Fuel for Flight reflects the spirit of care and generosity that defines our Milford community, and it helps remove barriers so students can focus on their education and well-being.
You can read more about the program in Fuel for Flight’s announcement letter below:
Dear Milford Families,
We are excited to offer the Fuel for Flight program to support Milford School District students. This program continues the former work of Feed Our Flock by providing a weekend supply of nonperishable food—two breakfasts, two lunches, and several snacks—at no cost to families. Our goal is to help promote the health, well-being, and academic success of every student who participates.
Students enrolled in the Free and Reduced Lunch Program (grades K–12) are eligible to participate. Participation is completely voluntary, but if you would like your child to receive a weekend food bag, please complete the online form using the link below by September 5 (please be sure to fill out a separate form for each child you wish to enroll):
https://forms.gle/H2m4fX9VXYXSo2wRA
The food bags will be packaged in plain black plastic bags that fit easily in a backpack or can be carried separately. School staff will discreetly distribute the bags to students at the end of each week. The program begins on September 19 and will continue through the end of the school year.
You may opt out of the program at any time.
Fuel for Flight is proudly sponsored by Milford First United Methodist Church. If you have any questions, please contact me at 513-377-6704 or anne@milfordfirstumc.org.
Gratefully, Anne Kuhn Fuel for Flight Director
