About the partnership
Fuel Your Neighbors was launched by VSECU and Capstone Community Action, with generous support from The Point FM. Together we were able to exceed the program’s goal for its initial winter. The initial success of the program attracted additional sponsors including Red Hen Baking Co., Sovernet Communications (FirstLight), Leone, Mcdonnell & Roberts, Symquest, Hickok and Boardman, and The Alchemist.
