My Project

Help get the FACS straight!

Right now, my students’ creativity is bigger than the tools we have.

Our kitchen equipment is outdated, incomplete, and simply can’t keep up with the excitement and energy of eager young chefs at a time. Missing mixing bowls means students have to wait for their turn. Dull knives slow down the pace—and more importantly, make food prep less safe. Old baking sheets mean uneven results that leave students feeling discouraged.

With your help, we can stock our classroom with safe, high-quality kitchen tools so every student can participate, experiment, and succeed. Your donation isn’t just buying kitchen equipment—it’s fueling hands-on learning, life skills, and a sense of accomplishment that will stay with these students far beyond middle school. When they whisk, chop, measure, and bake, they’re not just making food—they’re making memories and preparing for life.
