My Project

Mississippi's weather is known to change instantly, no matter the season. We have to always be prepared for anything as it relates to weather. Local disasters in our area have a significant impact on the local water system, and sometimes limits the amount of food that our students have access to due to parents not being able to work or get to the grocery store.

This project will provide snacks for the students to take home or get during school hours so that they aren't hungry.

Going without the essential items cause the students to lose focus during school and their academic performance is not where it should be.

My goal for this project is to make sure that students have a safe space to come to for snacks and personal hygiene items. Having access to these items will give them the space to focus more on their academics.
