Food for Thought

Help me give my students snacks to feed their stomachs so we can feed their minds!

My Project

According to Feeding America, 1 in 6 children in Hawaii face childhood hunger. In the county of Maui alone, 15.5% of children do not have enough food to eat. We know that when students are hungry, they have a harder time paying attention in class, and it's almost impossible to retain information.

Childhood hunger is a big concern in Maui, and so, these snacks and food items will be used to help combat our students' growing hunger.

With the fires Maui experienced in August of 2023, childhood hunger is expected to grow in the coming months.

People on Maui are struggling, students are struggling as well, and one thing we can do is make sure they have the nourishment they need to succeed in school. Let's feed their stomachs so we can feed their minds!
