I run the school food pantry. Many students come into the pantry who needs food. Sometimes, our students are homeless and do not have can openers to open the food. I would like to have the opportunity to open the cans for the students when they come to me hungry or loan the can openers out so that the students can open things like cans of fruits. My hope is that students who have immediate nutritional needs can have the cans opened for them in the school. Can openers might seem simple to some, but many of our students do not have can openers.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
