My Students

I teach at a large urban middle school with a very diverse student population. Every student in our district receives free breakfast and lunch due to the high poverty in our community. Many of our students come from hard-working families. They just need some help.

Our school's food pantry supplies dozens of students each week with enough food to get them through weekends at home, and remote learning days.

Due to the high rate of food insecurity in our community, many students leave school unsure when or what their next meal will be. During a time of growing need, this is a way we can support the students who need it most!

My Project

We all know that children cannot learn without their basic needs being met. Having a stocked food pantry at our school is critical to our student's success. Items like chicken soup and oatmeal might seem like small things, but they make a huge impact on a child in need. In addition to our food pantry being available to students throughout the week, backpacks filled with food are sent home with our school's most high need students several times a week.

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, keeping the pantry well-stocked has been a struggle for us, as the need is greater than we have resources for.

Having your donations provide these crucial items is the most helpful way for us to restock and replenish our supply of food.

I sincerely thank you in advance for making these items accessible to our students!
