Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Every child deserves to come to school feeling loved, supported, and ready to learn. No child should have to sit and have a rumbling belly while trying to learn.

Through this project, I hope to provide snacks for students across several grade levels, ensuring that every child has something to enjoy when they need a little extra nourishment throughout the school day.

For some students, these snacks may be a small treat, but for others, they may be something they truly depend on.

Your generosity will do more than fill hungry bellies. It will warm little hearts, bring smiles to faces, and remind our students that someone cares about them. Thank you for helping us make sure that no child goes through the school day hungry.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
