My Project
Many of our students face food insecurity, and as a Title 1 school, we strive to meet both their academic and basic needs. Providing snacks like Goldfish crackers, Pop-Tarts, and other shelf-stable items helps ensure that students can stay energized and ready to learn, especially during long school days or when they miss breakfast at home. We are also requesting storage bins to help organize and store these snacks in a clean, accessible way for easy distribution throughout the week.
Your donation goes directly into the classroom, supporting real kids with real needs.
Whether you contribute one box of snacks or help stock an entire bin, your generosity plays a direct role in building a more supportive, equitable classroom experience. Thank you for helping us create a space where every student has what they need to thrive.
