My Project

Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thrive—and that starts with a full tummy. Many of my students come to school hungry or without enough food to keep them focused throughout the day. As their teacher, I see firsthand how hard it is to concentrate, participate, and succeed when basic needs aren’t met.

This project will provide snacks for my classroom so students can fuel their minds and bodies throughout the school day.

Whether it’s a granola bar in the morning, crackers in the afternoon, or a little something to get them through a tough day, these snacks will make a big difference.

Your support will help create a classroom where students feel cared for, safe, and ready to learn—because when their basic needs are met, their potential is unlimited. Thank you for helping me ensure that no child in my room has to learn on an empty stomach.
