Help me give my students snacks and disinfecting wipes to be successful, despite having a wonderful food program at the school, many of our students go home to little or no food.

My Project

Despite having a wonderful food program at the school, many of our students go home to little or no food. Hungry kids can not learn, and kids who are not learning have bleak futures. Help us give our kids full bellies so they can do their best at school and propel future scholars throughout the day. Some of our students are living in low-income housing. They are very unfortunate for food and hygiene materials. Please help our students feel welcome to have a second place to call home.
