My Project

This project is based on the needs of my students. I am focused on providing every resource possible to my students, and one of the things that they need is extra food. Some of my students only eat real meals at school and this leaves them hungry at night or over a weekend. I want to be able to give them more and be able to send home snacks in the hopes of providing more comfort to my kiddos.

These students need to fuel to be able to function and learn to the best of their ability.

This project will provide a variety of choices as well as additional breakfast, lunch, and snack options to create a full meal for students. These snacks will be given to all students who need them, including students not physically in my class. This is a labor of love, and I am so hopeful that this project will be funded to meet the most basic of needs for so many students!
