On Friday, February 6, representatives from AGRILAND FS presented a check for $7,015 to Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department at Fairfield Community School District High School during halftime of the girls’ varsity basketball game. These funds were raised during the Fuel Up & Give Back pilot program where 3¢ for every gallon of gas and diesel fuel sold at their Fairfield FAST STOP® location was donated directly to the school district, who will determine how the funds will be allocated.
“We are extremely thankful for the partnership with ARGILAND FS,” said Brett Ferrel, Fire Chief at the Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department. “The generous donation of 3¢ per gallon of fuel sold will help provide the opportunity to purchase much needed gear and tools for our department.”
AGRILAND FS currently has 18 FAST STOP gas stations located in 17 communities across southern Iowa and northwest Missouri. The success of this pilot program has led AGRILAND FS to launch phase three of the program that will donate 3¢ per gallon to the local community school districts in each of those 17 communities. This third phase of the program will run from March 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026.
“The Fuel Up & Give Back program has been a great opportunity for our community fire departments. It became clear that our customers found value in the program and have been supportive of it,” said Ross Knobloch, Director of Energy at AGRILAND FS. “As a local business, we are proud we could give back to the Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department, and we look forward to kicking off phase three of the Fuel Up & Give Back program and supporting our communities that fuel up at our FAST STOP locations.”
The AGRILAND FS Fairfield FAST STOP gas pumps are located at 2901 W Grimes Avenue and are open to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Fuel can be purchased at the pumps using any major credit card, debit card, or the AGRILAND FS proprietary FAST STOP charge card that gives users loyalty savings per gallon on their statement when the FAST STOP Card is used at any of the 18 AGRILAND FS-branded FAST STOP locations.
