My Project

In our school system, our students have basic needs that require immediate attention when they come to school. Students often come to school hungry, tired, or cold, so we try to remove barriers to assist our students in succeeding and exceeding the expectations that we've set for them.

Help us reach our goal so that we can give our students the resources they deserve to successfully engage their minds, by providing their basic needs.

Providing basic resources and necessities like food, water, and personal hygiene items allows our students to participate to their full capacity so that they are motivated in the spaces that we've cultivated for them to feel safe, cared for, and supported.
