My Project

My school is in a low-income area that serves primarily minority students. These families suffer from food insecurity. Please consider helping me provide for my students.

Please help me provide food for students to take home for evenings and weekends.

No child should ever be hungry.

This food will be added to my Care Closet in my classroom. Students will be allowed to "shop" from the closet as often as needed. I already have some clothing items and some food. This project will add a lot of food to our closet.

Thank you for considering my project.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
