Mental Health Snacks for Students in the Bronx, NY

Funded Oct 1, 2024

I want to thank the donors that made snacks available for my students. Working in the poorest congressional district in the country, my students are often lacking resources that they deserve. Lacking food and the ability to eat something for teenagers that are still growing mentally and physically is crucial, so the ability to give students something to snack on during the day is very important for their ability to concentrate on their school work. As we know mental health and anxiety has risen since the pandemic, so the ability for young people to take a break, have a snack and build community with their fellow students is crucial. So thank you so much for extending this opportunity to my students.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Jeff
