109 Snacks for Mental Health

Funded Oct 5, 2024

Thank you so much for supplying my classroom with snacks! For months my students came into school knowing that they had brain food available to them in the afternoon. Every time a new box of snacks came in it was like we had all won the lottery. They had me hold up each individual snack and showcase it like I was Vanna White.

Being able to eat during a two hour class is so essential for students to be able to produce excellent quality work. When you are hungry, you cannot focus as much on the task at hand. Thanks to you, my students are no longer hungry! Even though they grumbled about the "healthy" snacks, they soon learned to love them.

It really made a difference to the start of the school year. Students were not as distracted and more importantly, they were happy.”

With gratitude,
