The Fairfield Community School District will be the recipient of AGRILAND FS’s Fuel Up & Give Back pilot program running from March 1st through June 30th, 2026.
During the four-month campaign, AGRILAND FS will donate 3¢ for every gallon of gas and diesel fuel sold at their Fairfield FAST STOP location at 2901 W. Grimes Avenue. At the end of the program, the total amount raised will be donated directly to the school district, which will determine how the funds are allocated.
“The Fuel Up & Give Back campaign is a powerful example of what can happen when schools and community partners rally around a shared purpose,” said Zach Wigle, Superintendent at Fairfield Community School District. “The resources generated through this promotion directly support opportunities for our students by enhancing classroom experiences, supporting extracurricular activities, and investing in programs that strengthen student engagement.”
AGRILAND FS currently operates 18 FAST STOP gas stations in 17 communities across southern Iowa and northwest Missouri. The Fuel Up & Give Back promotion represents the third phase of a pilot project evaluating the potential impact and sustainability of community give-back programs.
Ross Knobloch, Director of Energy at AGRILAND FS, expressed enthusiasm about partnering with local school districts.
“We are excited to partner with our local community school districts on this round of Fuel Up & Give Back,” Knobloch said. “As we have seen from previous rounds of the program, 3¢ per gallon can quickly add up to thousands of dollars over the four-month period.”
The AGRILAND FS Fairfield FAST STOP gas pumps are open to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week, giving everyone the opportunity to support the school district simply by purchasing fuel.
“With our FAST STOP locations being open to the public 24/7, everyone has the opportunity to fuel up and give back to their local school district,” Knobloch said. “Plus, we appreciate all of the help spreading the word about this program to further support each AGRILAND FS FAST STOP community.”
Fuel can be purchased at the pumps using any major credit card, debit card, or the AGRILAND FS proprietary FAST STOP charge card. Customers using the FAST STOP Card receive an additional savings of 3¢ per gallon on their statement when used at any of the 18 AGRILAND FS-branded FAST STOP locations.
“We want to thank everyone for joining us in supporting your local community, and we look forward to seeing you at our FAST STOP pumps!” Knobloch said.
The Fuel Up & Give Back program previously supported the Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department during its first phase (October 1st, 2025 – January 31st, 2026), raising $7,015 through the same 3¢ per gallon donation model at the Fairfield location.
