Help me give my students a bookshelf for our classroom library so they can access more books, expand their knowledge, and develop a lifelong love for reading.
Our students are passionate about expanding their culinary knowledge, and our classroom library is filled with incredible books to inspire and educate them. However, we face one major challenge: we don’t have bookshelves to store and display these resources properly!
Books are stacked in inconvenient places without a designated space, making it difficult for students to access the knowledge they need.
Sturdy bookshelves will transform our library into an organized, inviting space where students can easily explore culinary techniques, recipes, and food history.
By supporting this project, you’re not just providing furniture—you’re creating a hub of learning and inspiration for future chefs, entrepreneurs, and food industry professionals. Please help us give our students the gift of accessible knowledge!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
