Fueling Freedom School Scholars

Help me give my students snacks to ensure our scholars are nourished, focused, and ready to fully engage in literacy and enrichment activities throughout the Freedom School day.

Mrs. Wadelington Gibson Elementary School

Winston Salem, NC Grades 3-5

My Project

This summer, our Freedom School scholars will spend five days a week building literacy skills, confidence, leadership, and a love for learning. Each day is filled with reading, enrichment activities, meaningful discussions, and opportunities for students to grow academically and socially in a safe and supportive environment.

To help our scholars stay energized and ready to learn, we are requesting healthy snacks for both morning and afternoon snack times.

Many of our students spend long days in the program, and having consistent access to snacks helps them remain focused, engaged, and excited to participate throughout the day.

Because we serve students twice daily for snacks across the entire summer program, supplies go quickly. Donations of individually packaged snacks, drinks, and easy-to-serve items will directly support our scholars and create a welcoming environment where every child feels cared for.

Your support will help provide:

Morning and afternoon snacks each day

Nutritious options that keep students focused

A positive and comforting experience for scholars

Relief for families during the summer months

Every snack shared is more than just food — it is encouragement, care, and support for a child working hard to grow and succeed this summer. Thank you for helping us nourish both minds and hearts at Freedom School!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
