What is Fuel the City?

Fuel the City is a back-to-school project launched by the Neighborhood Heroes Foundation dedicated to ensuring that every child, regardless of their socioeconomic background, has access to quality education and the necessary tools to thrive academically. Recognizing the profound impact education has on a child's future, our project aims to equip disadvantaged students with the resources and support they need to excel in their studies.

Why Get Involved?

When we invest in a child’s education, we invest in the future of our community. By supporting Fuel the City, you’re helping bridge the gap for students who deserve equal access to learning and growth. Every backpack, book, and word of encouragement fuels a brighter tomorrow, one child at a time.

Never Say Never, But Never Quit!
by Devan “D.Leg” Legington

In this inspiring children’s story, meet Mr. Light — a determined little bunny with a big heart and even bigger dreams. Along his journey, he faces obstacles, doubt, and moments where giving up seems easier than pushing forward. But through faith, courage, and the power of perseverance, Mr. Light learns that true heroes never quit — they keep shining no matter how dark it gets.

Written by Devan Legington, Founder & President of The Neighborhood Heroes Foundation, this book was created to inspire youth to dream big, believe in themselves, and overcome life’s challenges with hope and resilience.

Every purchase directly supports our Save the Youth initiative, helping us empower children through education, mentorship, and creative programs that build confidence and community.

✨ A story for every child who’s ever been told they can’t — and a reminder that with light, love, and perseverance, they can do anything
