High school is tough enough, but with the added uncertainty of remote learning and a lack of nutritious food, for some students, it has become a nightmare.
My students come from low income homes, and often times lack basic necessities, like food.
Therefore, they find themselves at an even greater disadvantage. Please help me give my students nutritious meals.
My Project
My students come from economically disadvantaged homes, where resources and food are very often scarce. Many students come from food unstable homes, and often times turn to the school for nutritious meals like breakfast and lunch.
The COVID 19 pandemic has made matters exponentially more difficult, for some of our most vulnerable students.
I worry that many of my scholars and their families do not have enough food to eat. I need your help to provide some relief and reassurance to them. I will enlist the help of family and friends, to distribute the food to those who need it most.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
