Healthy Snacks for Wellness/Mental Health Program

Help me give my students snacks to get through their school day. Snacks are a high demand from our 925 students! We're hoping that selecting healthy snacks in bulk will get us through the school year :)

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Hi there! I'm the Wellness Coordinator at a middle school in San Francisco. We serve 925 students and have already had about 300 visits to the Wellness Center this semester alone!

Our wellness center and initiatives are aimed to support students' mental and emotional health/needs.

We do our best to advocate taking care of your mind, body, and soul, however this can be difficult for some of our students, especially if they're hungry during the school day. Snacks are in high demand at our site, however we aren't able to use our own budgets to purchase snacks and many of our local pantries do not have the capacity to support a site as big as ours.

Sometimes students need a small pick me up during the day, so they can recenter and refocus. It can be difficult to focus and be present in class with an empty stomach, and I firmly believe that providing snacks for students in our wellness center will support our students physical health, which can then improve their academics.

Our wellness team is short staffed (it's just myself and our school social worker), so pre-packaged snacks in bulk are the easiest choice for us!

Any support you can provide is greatly appreciated :D
