My Project

Many of our students face challenges that go beyond the classroom. One of the most pressing issues is hunger. Despite receiving free breakfast and lunch, many students arrive at school early and have a long wait until lunchtime. This gap often leaves them distracted and struggling to focus.

To support our students' learning and well-being, we aim to provide a variety of healthy snacks that can bridge this gap.

Snacks like granola bars, fruit pouches, crackers, and cereal will not only satisfy their hunger but also help them stay engaged and ready to learn.

Your generous donation will ensure that every student has access to a snack when they need it most, allowing them to focus on their education without the distraction of hunger.
