Help me give my students healthy snacks, like breakfast bars for the scholars who are in need of something to make it to lunch or chips for the scholars who are still hungry after lunch.

My Project
As a high school teacher, many of my scholars are just starving before we go to lunch. They ask me for snacks and I am happy to give them snacks to help them make it until lunchtime. Recently I ran out of snacks and I have noticed that some scholars seem to just put their heads on their desks. When I have asked them why they are doing this, one of the answers I have received is, "I can't focus on an empty stomach." Please help me keep my scholars focused by helping to provide them with healthy snacks to get them through the long high school days.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
