Help me give my students snacks to fight hunger and focus on learning.

My Project

My students are the highlight of my day. I enjoy going to school everyday to get the opportunity to teach them. They come in eager and ready to learn, but I want to help lighten the load on their minds and stomachs by providing them with a needed snack.

Most of my students have to stay after school for academics and athletics purposes and the only food they received is what the cafeteria serves at lunch, which is hours earlier than the after school activities.

Please help me to be able to provide them with a snack to help them focus on their academic learning and athletic activities.
