My Project

My class consists of 17 beautiful preschoolers. Each one is special in his or her own way. Being a Title One school, often times the only food these children eat is the food that they get in school.

Your generous donation can mean the difference between a child with a satisfied appetite and a child whose stomach is rumbling and grumbling due to being hungry.

Research shows that children learn best when they have a full belly.

Many children come in with very little in their lunchboxes They are constantly asking if they can bring food home for their mother or a sibling. I even see them sneaking food in their backpacks because they are ashamed. It is very sad. I often bring them snacks that I purchase but this is becoming very costly for me. These donated snacks will bring a smile to their little faces and they will not have to worry about going hungry in school. Please help me stisfy my children so that they can learn.
