Fueling Hope, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping families in need, held its annual gas giveaway in Des Moines this past weekend. The event, which took place at a local gas station, aimed to provide assistance to individuals and families struggling to afford fuel for their vehicles.
Dozens of volunteers were on hand to fill up the tanks of cars that lined up for the giveaway. Many of the recipients expressed their gratitude for the much-needed help, as rising gas prices have put a strain on their finances.
Fueling Hope founder, Sarah Johnson, spoke about the importance of the event in helping those who are facing financial hardship. “We believe that no one should have to choose between putting food on the table and filling up their gas tanks. Our annual gas giveaway is just one way we can support our community and provide a little bit of relief during these challenging times,” she said.
The event was made possible through the generous donations of local businesses and community members who support Fueling Hope’s mission. The organization plans to continue hosting the gas giveaway each year to help those in need and spread hope throughout the community.
