My Students

I teach at an awesome school with awesome students! The school is located in a low-income area. All of the students receive free or reduced lunches and free breakfast.

Many of the families rely on the school meals and find it difficult to provide enough food when school is closed.

The school closure due to the Corona Virus has caused distress for many families, making it difficult for them to feed their families 3 meals a day. Your donation would provide relief and food for these families.

My Project

Many of my students do not have access to enough food while school is closed due to the current Corona Virus pandemic.

Transportation, food, and funds are an issue for many families.

Please help provide a box of breakfast and snack foods for each of my students to supplement their diets while at home. Each food box contains 41 items that students can easily unwrap and prepare independently. My plan is to deliver each box to the students' homes. This will help give students breakfast and a snack for several weeks.

Your donation will be much appreciated. Thanks you in advance!
