Thanksgiving Care Packages

Help me give my students care, comfort and food packages for the Thanksgiving Break.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Phillip-Malahoo's classroom raised $842

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am a teacher at a Title 1 school, where all my students rely on receiving free lunches. However, during the Thanksgiving Break, they will not have access to free breakfast or lunch, which can be a significant challenge for many families, given the widespread issue of food insecurity.

These care packages are thoughtfully curated with essential items, including nutritious snacks and comforting pajamas.

They play a crucial role in ensuring that my students have access to nourishing snacks while they are away from the security and comfort of our school. Your support in providing these vital items is immensely appreciated and makes a meaningful difference in the lives of my students.
