Weekend Wheels is a supplemental food program of the nonprofit Windsor Food & Fuel Bank that provides a growing number of eligible local elementary, middle school and high school age girls and boys with weekly home deliveries of healthy food and snack items. Food Bank volunteers pack the nutritious foods received into bags for distribution. NOTE: The main office and food bank of the Windsor Food & Fuel Bank continues to be located at L.P.
