My Project

I’m reaching out to request your help in providing snacks and food items for the incredible students in my middle school Language Arts classroom. Many of our learners face long days filled with academic challenges, extracurriculars, and limited access to consistent meals. Having a supply of nutritious, comforting snacks can make a world of difference in their focus, energy, and overall well-being.

I’ve curated a list of affordable, shelf-stable food and snack items to support my students throughout the school year.

These items serve as brain fuel during test days, reading marathons, lunch gaps, and moments when a student simply needs a little kindness in the form of a granola bar or a warm bowl of soup.

Here’s what we hope to stock our classroom with:

Nutri-Grain Soft Baked Breakfast Bars

Welch's Mixed Fruit Snacks

Starlight Peppermints

StarKist Chicken Creations

Campbell's Sipping Soup & Creamy Tomato Bowls (

Chef Boyardee Ravioli and Spaghetti Bowls

Pop Secret Movie Theater Popcorn

Quaker Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal

GoGo SqueeZ Applesauce Pouches

RITZ Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers

Snyder’s Gluten-Free Mini Pretzels

RITZ Fresh Stacks Crackers

SCOOBY-DOO! Baked Graham Cracker Snacks

Nature Valley Oats & Honey Granola Bars

Del Monte Fruit Cups

Sun-Maid Organic Raisins

Your donation—whether it’s one box of granola bars or a few soup cups—will go directly into the hands (and bellies!) of hardworking students who appreciate the support more than you know.

Thank you for believing in our students and for helping make our classroom a place where all kids feel supported, nourished, and ready to learn.
