Fuel to Serve
A million places at the table by 2031.
Every service member, military family, and veteran should have a place at the table. Fuel to Serve is designed to strengthen the military food ecosystem, from the dining facility to the home, from the installation to the surrounding community.
Over the next five years, it will reach one million members of the military community across fifty installations and communities, bringing good food, practical support, connection, and lasting well-being together in one place.
For service members, veterans, and their families, that means a meal that opens the door to everything else. For the Robert Irvine Foundation, it means years of proven work growing into one connected effort, launched with USAA as founding sponsor.

Our Programs
Breaking Bread with Heroes
We’re showing love to our service members, veterans, and first responders by providing delicious meals.
Let’s Chow
We are empowering veteran entrepreneurs in the culinary industry by providing essential training to help launch and sustain their businesses.
Food Insecurity
No military family should feel hunger or be forced to ration food, yet 1 in 6 military families struggles with food insecurity. We’re combating this crisis through grocery handouts and by distributing gift cards.
Reuniting The Brave
We reunite service members so their bonds may be reignited and celebrated throughout their lives.
The YOMP
As part of Reuniting the Brave, the annual Cateran YOMP is more than a physical challenge, it’s about healing, purpose, and connection.
Suicide Prevention
We have joined the Face the Fight Coalition to help reduce the alarming suicide rate in this community.
Mission: Vetfit
A pilot program helping veterans strengthen mind and body through fitness, nutrition, and community.
