My Project

My students are in critical need of light snacks to help them stay fed throughout the school year. Hunger has been a enormous pandemic in the household of our students. So to eliminate hunger we created a food pantry for all of the students to utilize throughout the school year. Most of the time, here at school, is the most critical place for my students to receive adequate meals. Therefore, I am asking for your support in ensuring that my students have at least some meals they can eat and enjoy. The need for food has become so significant, and how can children focus if they are hungry.
