My Project

I work at an inner-city high school. We have a 6 X 9-foot pantry that was started with a $500 grant. It has been kept going for 17 years through generous donations from alumni, local businesses, and Donors Choose grants. It sees about 50 students a day.

Your kind and generous donation will allow my students to show compassion by supporting 200 students who are experiencing food insecurity by providing granola bars, oatmeal, noodles, Nutri-grain bars, applesauce, and peach cups.

These are fast grab and go items that are not only delicious but nutritious as well.

Many people are fortunate to not know what it means to have food insecurity. It is not easy to ask for help, but by showing compassion, my students will be able to demonstrate compassion while helping other students to have their basic needs met.

Education is not only learning about basic subjects, but learning how to treat others when they need a helping hand. I have found that helping others is a win-win situation. People feel good about helping others, and the people helped feel good about having a basic need met. By having compassion, my students are learning an important life lesson while giving others a helping hand. At the end of this, student success can be measured by asking if students can define compassion. I will also encourage them to continue to serve our school and community.
