Help me give my students ramen, microwavable bowls, and other warm meals and filling snacks to help them through the day, and at home, as needs arise.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Larkin's classroom raised $364

My Project
I teach and am surrounded by amazing students daily in our rural school, that have very big appetites, as most teens do! We all know that teens stay hungry, but there are also students that I have encountered that need something to not only fill their tummies at school, but need items available for them to take home when they have fallen on hard times.
Through funding this project, students will continue to be able to enter my classroom doors and have a small, warm meal available and/or a filling snack, but when times are tough at home, they will also have items available to stash away in their backpack for later on.
I have always been burdened by the needs of my students, because I grew up in poverty, as many of them are doing, and I believe in bridging the gap. I bridged this gap for years fully of my own expense and cannot believe the opportunities that DonorsChoose has opened for me to help others. Thank you in advance for keeping these ravenous teens at bay with food in their tummies!
