Speaking Out Against Insecurities

Help me give my students some supplies for our community drive to provide basic supplies and snacks.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Zhang's classroom raised $432

My Project

We are organizing a community drive to supply snacks, cleaning supplies, and enjoyable school materials for donation to our local community members. Many students in our area come from low-income families, facing challenges in meeting basic needs such as snacks and cleaning supplies.

Our goal is to demonstrate the positive impact of small acts of kindness for these students.

In addition to providing essential items, we are seeking permanent markers for labeling purposes and also plan to distribute markers to the younger members of the families. We appreciate all the donations!
