Food for Thought

Help me give my students snacks to consume throughout the day! Chips, cookies, candy, and more to support their hungry stomachs!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. A's classroom raised $338

This project is fully funded

My Project

Please fund some money to buy snacks for my students. Many of them come from low-income households, thus many come to school with no breakfast, no snacks, and an empty stomach. The school provides breakfast, however, sometimes the students come close to the bell ringing and don't have a chance to eat breakfast.

My students need food for their brains to work!

The amount of times my students have asked for snacks, due to hunger, is overwhelming. I can see many of them with a sore stomach, or being very distracted, due to hunger. I am running out of snacks to provide them, and would love to have more!
