Pad & Snack: A Match Made in Comfort

Help me give my students menstrual products and snacks to make them feel better.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dudek's classroom raised $189

My Project

My kids often utilize my student based basket to fulfill their sanitary needs. In addition to this, they often emphasize that they are hungry.

Please help me provide my students with comfort by offering them menstral pads and snacks when they come to my class.

Fruit snacks are easy snacks that students can take on the go with them. Thermacare heating wraps are for when my students are going through pain and need relief from their cramps. I'd like to be able to be mindful of their needs and be prepared for when they ask for pads and snacks!
