My Project

Your donation to our Serving Snacks with Love project is about so much more than food — it’s about showing children that they are cared for, valued, and not forgotten. In our low-income community, many of our students come to school carrying more than just backpacks. They carry worries, hunger, and the weight of circumstances far beyond their control. For some, school is the one consistent place they feel safe, supported, and nourished — both emotionally and physically.

When you give to this project, you help us turn snack time into something truly meaningful.

A simple cup of yogurt, a piece of fruit, or a warm muffin becomes a symbol of love and dignity. These granola bars, applesauce, juice, and other snacks bring smiles, calm anxious hearts, and provide the energy kids need to learn, play, and grow. Even more importantly, they create a moment of connection — a pause in the day where we say, “You matter. You are worthy of care.”

Your generosity helps us build a classroom culture rooted in compassion, where no child feels left out or unseen. It reminds our students that there are people beyond our walls who believe in them, even if they’ve never met them. That kind of kindness plants seeds of hope — and those seeds grow in powerful ways.
