My Project

I am asking for basic needs for my students. We are in a very rural area in which our school is 88% free/reduced lunch and a Title 1 school. The majority of my students live with grandparents, other relatives, or boys/girls home due to the high drug use/incarceration rate. I supply most of my students with their basic school needs as well as many with food that I keep in my closet and clothes. My pay is not bad but it is hard to keep basic needs in my room when most do not even have food overnight. These items will be used for the beginning of the school year.

Thank you so much for anything that is provided.
