My Project

I work in a school district with many low income families. A lot of children come to school and worry about where their next meal is going to come from. Food insecurity is a real thing and it’s so devastating. Please help me to give my students a peace of mind. This project will fund snacks and drinks for my classroom students so that they don’t have to worry about anything but learning while they’re in the classroom.

Your support means so much to me, but it means even more to the students.
