Girls Empowerment Snacks

Funded Nov 8, 2024

My girls are always in need of a quick snack at all times of the day. We have been able to use these snacks when we are meeting or just when they stop by my office to talk and get things out of their hearts and minds. The snacks help them regulate their hunger and allow them to get more focused on what is happening around them and outside of them.

Needless to say, the girls were thrilled that there were always snacks for them to enjoy at any moment of the day. They would find me in the hallways, my classroom, or as I said before in my office. It has been my pleasure to give them a safe space to speak and now a safe space to find a snack and regulate their hunger so they can place their minds somewhere else. The snacks helped all of my girls, some of my girls don't eat certain ingredients, and some of my girls want to eat more healthy snacks. We had all different kinds of snacks to meet the needs of religion, culture, or lifestyle choices. That is one of the best parts. Lastly, as it has been very cold in NY the snacks have truly made more of an impact as they do not have to go outside to find a quick snack. We thank you and are very appreciative of the help in the form of snacks.”
