Help me give my students some hygiene necessities and food items that will help when they are hungry. I have provided students with hygiene basics this year.

Celebrating 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
My students are English Language Learners. Many of my students are refugees. They are amazing people who come from diverse cultures from all over the world! They are respectful and very kind! Many of my students live in an area that is economically challenged and they are often in need of support with basic items. I have been providing things such as deodorant, toothbrushes, and toothpaste to those in need, but I am no longer able to do this due to medical bills from chemotherapy and radiation. I could really use your help because my students truly need these hygiene basics. Over 20 students have taken the deodorant that I provided in this first month of school. Another 10-15 have taken toothbrushes and toothpaste. I am also requesting small food items because my students can either eat a healthy snack in class to help their focus or take something with them to eat later in the day. Any help you can give is very appreciated!
More than half of students from low‑income households
