Incredible. \r\n\r\nWorking for a Title I school, my students sometimes lack the basic items they need like deodorant, feminine pads, or even an afternoon snack. With your help, I am able to provide these items to my students and then some. The cereal bars are by far the biggest hit. If a student forgot to get breakfast or needs a snack, those are the first things they ask for. When they first arrived a student even said \"Ohh, I didn't even know you had these! I have never seen this kind before!\" As he hungrily gobbled it down with a big smile on his face! \r\n\r\nThank you again, for being so generous, kind, caring, and thinking of my students!
