Give · school lunches for kids

Help us fuel brighter days

Let's use our passion for cars to make a real impact in our community. Every donation helps provide school lunches for local kids. Our goal is $2,500 for one full semi truck of food. Give any amount, from $1.

Community update

The day is over, but the giving continues.

We are still tallying the final totals from The Piston Powered Ranch. We have not yet reached the fundraising goal needed to make the food delivery possible, so we are keeping the effort going.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. We will share the confirmed totals, our progress toward the goal, and the next steps as we have them.

If you would like to help us reach the goal, please visit School Lunch - Give to contribute.

Stay tuned. There is more we can do together.

How much would you like to give?

Any amount from $1 helps fill the truck.

One truck

$2,500

is our goal: one full semi truck of food for kids’ school lunches.

We have not reached it yet. Until the truck is full, we keep collecting and keep the community posted. Then we do the food giveaway.

How and why

We are raising money to give away food for school lunches. We are working through two Tennessee nonprofits:

The car Mechanics on a Mission presented to Erin at the show is separate from this effort. Gifts here go to food for school lunches.

Mechanics on a Mission gives cars and free repairs to people in need.
One Generation Away rescues food and gives it to neighbors in need.

We think it is a great thing to show up with cars and a truck full of food for kids, and we want to keep doing it as often as we can.

All year

Gifts are open all year, not only on show day.

Gifts are taken here, on The Piston Powered Ranch's own checkout, and a receipt is emailed to you.

Part of the profit from The Piston Powered Ranch goes to the truck too. Eatin' Good.

Want to help another way? Maybe it is a rig. We would like to know who is out there: hello@pistonpoweredranch.com

We may change the cause each quarter. Right now, every gift goes to school lunches for kids.
