My Project

Many students are struggling with having adequate food and hygiene products in their homes. My advisory block and I are looking for help stocking our food pantry with hygiene products and easy-to-cook food items.

I have worked in my district for 20 years and I have always loved the feeling of community so I want to give back.

We have struggled with keeping the shelves stocked so we are grateful for any help filling our shelves with easy-to-make food such as canned pastas and hygiene products.
