My Project

Imagine trying to concentrate on your studies when your stomach is grumbling loudly or your energy is waning due to a lack of nourishment. Sadly, this is a reality for some of our middle school students. Hunger not only affects their physical well-being but also their ability to focus and engage in class. We believe that no child should have to go through this, and that's why we are seeking your support.

Our goal is to create a Care Closet stocked with nutritious snacks and essentials that will be easily accessible to students throughout the day.

These snacks will be made available discreetly and without judgment, ensuring that every child in need can access them without feeling embarrassed. By providing this resource, we aim to address hunger-related obstacles to learning and foster a supportive, caring environment for our students.
