Help Us Heat Up Lunch Time!

Help me give my students a microwave, fridge, and air fryer so my students can store and warm their food. A hot meal helps them stay focused, energized, and ready to learn each day.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

Many of my students come to school with food that can’t be eaten cold, but they don’t have a way to properly heat or store their meals. I’m requesting a microwave, a small refrigerator, and an oven/air fryer so my students can warm up their food, store leftovers safely, and enjoy hot, nourishing meals during the school day.

These basic appliances will make a big difference in their comfort, health, and focus.

When students can eat well, they can learn better, feel more cared for, and get through the day with energy and confidence. Your support will help create a more welcoming and supportive classroom environment where every student feels seen and valued.
