My Project

We get daily requests for snacks for our kiddos. Sometimes, they come in late and miss breakfast and really need a little something. Other times, they just want a little pick me up and others may have food insecurity and want to make sure their bellies are full before they head home for the day. We would love to be able to always say yes, you can have a snack if you need it!

This project will fund snacks for anyone who needs it.

Even though the behavior intervention classroom has about 15 kids who we work with daily, we can get visits from many others needing a quiet space or a place to calm down or just wanting a snack and someone to chat with . Maybe they just want to grab a snack to go and my hope is to be able to provide that support to anyone who wants it.
