My Project

My students are in critical need of light snacks to help them stay fed throughout the school year. Hunger has been an enormous pandemic in the households 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 snack foods and drinks they can eat and enjoy. The need for food has become so significant, and how can children focus if they are hungry?
