My Project

To fully engage in food preparation and culinary projects, our students need basic but essential materials: food containers, napkins, plastic cutlery, disposable plates, gloves, and paper towels. These items support classroom cooking labs, recipe testing, food safety lessons, and community-focused projects like preparing meals for school events or local shelters.

These disposable supplies help us maintain cleanliness, ensure food safety, and allow students to package their creations to take home and share with their families.

Without them, students miss out on vital learning opportunities and the joy of seeing their hard work turn into something tangible and delicious.

What We Need

Reusable/Disposable food containers (variety of sizes)

Plastic forks, knives, and spoons

Paper napkins

Disposable plates and bowls

Disposable gloves (various sizes)

Paper towels

Zip-top storage bags

Aluminum foil and plastic wrap

These materials will directly support our culinary labs and promote safe food handling practices. With your support, we can give our students the full experience of planning, preparing, and sharing nutritious meals.
