My Project
I teach at a Title I school where many of my students come from low-income families and face daily challenges related to poverty. For these kids, access to nutritious food is not always guaranteed, and hunger can be a major barrier to learning and growth.
When students come to class hungry, it is nearly impossible for them to focus, participate, and succeed academically.
They need more than just lessons; they need nourishment to fuel their brains and bodies throughout the school day.
This project will provide healthy snacks such as Cereal Bars, Soft Baked Breakfast Bars, and Goldfish to support my students’ learning by ensuring they have the energy and focus they need to thrive. By helping hungry learners meet their basic needs, we are setting them up for success inside and outside the classroom. Your support will make a huge difference in their lives and help build a stronger foundation for their future.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
