These small moments of care truly added up, creating a calm and supported environment that allowed students to focus on their work instead of their hunger.\r\n\r\nBeyond the physical benefits, the snacks helped boost morale and confidence. Students felt seen and cared for, knowing someone had thought about their well-being during such an important time.
