Help Us Fuel Young Minds: Donate Snacks for Underserved Students!

Help me give my students the access to the nourishment they need to thrive.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Barrett's classroom raised $998

My Project

I teach an amazing group of students who come to school every day eager to learn, grow, and succeed. However, many of them face challenges outside the classroom, including food insecurity. It’s difficult for students to focus on lessons when hunger is a constant distraction. A simple, healthy snack can make a huge difference in their ability to concentrate, stay engaged, and reach their full potential.

I am requesting donations to provide nutritious, non-perishable snacks for my students.

Many come to school without having had breakfast or with little to eat throughout the day. By having a supply of snacks in our classroom, I can ensure that no child has to learn on an empty stomach.

With your generous support, I will be able to provide students with snacks such as: popcorn, Nutri Grain bars, Graham Crackers, snack bars, breakfast foods, and water.

Providing snacks not only supports students’ physical needs but also fosters a sense of care and belonging in our classroom. When students feel supported, they are more likely to engage, participate, and excel in their studies. Your donation—no matter the size—will have a direct and meaningful impact on their daily learning experience.
