Food insecurity is such an epidemic but because of your generosity, you have been able to make our world a better place. Students can come to school knowing they are part of a school that cares and wants food in their bellies. \r\n When my students first saw the food, they were so excited to be able to have a snack. When we asked students who often have little food at home, they were so excited to be able to take food home AND wanted to know if they could take it home to their siblings as well. This is so powerful, having the students desire to not only look out for themselves but also their families. That is the power of the food, you made it so kids feel comfortable talking about their needs but also their peers as well.
