My Project

Food is always the way to a to child's heart. Whether it's a snack or cooked meal, children feel safe and calm when eating. Our special need babies are no exception! A snack after daily specials can be the deciding factor of a great day or A DAY! Our goal is to provide nutritious snacks to special needs children, promoting their health and well-being. Providing snacks for these babies will ensure the children access to nutrition at least once a day. Our community consists of children and families without extra financial support for snacks.

We are asking for a donation of snacks to our classroom.

Our kids would greatly appreciate it. Your donation will go towards securing nutritious snacks and ensuring the efficient distribution of snacks to special needs children in our classroom. Thank you for your continuous support and contributions!
