Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
At TNGA, our Student Government is committed to making a meaningful impact in our local community. Trenton, New Jersey, is a vibrant city with a diverse population, but many families face significant challenges, including homelessness and food insecurity. This project aims to address these critical issues by establishing a school food pantry service that not only supports students within our school but also extends its reach to their families and the surrounding community.
Through this initiative, we aspire to empower our students to take an active role in community service, foster a sense of empathy, and create a supportive environment for those in need.
Students at TNGA are remarkable individuals who embody resilience, creativity, and a strong sense of community. Many of our students come from diverse backgrounds and face significant challenges, yet they consistently demonstrate determination and a desire to succeed. Their unique experiences foster a deep empathy for others, making them ideal candidates to lead this community service project.
The specific items we are requesting for our school food pantry—non-perishable food items such as canned goods, pasta, rice, granola bars, and shelf-stable milk—will significantly enhance the learning experience for our students . Food insecurity can severely hinder a student's ability to focus, engage, and perform academically. By providing access to nutritious meals, we aim to eliminate one of the barriers that can impede learning.
This project not only allows our students to serve their community but also helps them build essential skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and communication. Through this initiative, they will learn the importance of social responsibility while making a tangible difference in the lives of their fellow students and families.
