We had to wait until 1pm to eat lunch on the first day and you could hear several stomachs growling in our room. So on the second day of testing when I showed up with some snacks, they were excited and appreciative. I let them know that it was thanks to amazing donors through DonorsChoose that I was able to obtain the snacks.
