For thousands of children across West Virginia, summer isn’t a break—it’s a setback. Without school, many lose access to regular meals, fall behind in reading, and struggle without the structure and support they need to thrive. Energy Express is more than a summer program—it’s a safety net, a source of nourishment and a critical bridge to a brighter future.
For six weeks every summer, Energy Express provides free, nutritious meals, literacy enrichment and one-on-one mentorship to children in rural and underserved communities. In homes where books are scarce and food insecurity is a daily reality, this program ensures that kids continue to learn, grow and feel supported. Without it, too many children go hungry and return to school unprepared, slipping even further behind their peers.
But our ability to reach every child who needs Energy Express depends on you.
Your support helps us provide:
- Free, healthy meals to fuel growing bodies and minds.
- Books and learning materials to keep kids engaged over the summer.
- Mentorship and literacy support that prevent devastating learning loss.
- A safe, encouraging environment where children build confidence and relationships that last a lifetime.
This program changes lives, but we can’t do it alone. Every dollar stays in West Virginia, directly helping the children who need it most.
Click the GIVE button today to make a difference where it matters most! A gift as small as $5 helps provide life-changing resources—and every donation brings us one step closer to ensuring that no child in West Virginia is left behind.
