My Project

It is time to restock our snacks again. My students often come to school hungry. That makes it difficult to focus and learn. Due to generous donors like you, I am able to offer snacks to my class.

Food is such a critical basic need.

I have noticed this year more than any other year that students are asking if they can take a snack home for their brother or sister. I am glad that we are able to help their families with a few extra snacks throughout the day.
