My Project

This amazing group of students have faced many challenges and adversities. I want nothing more than to lessen their burdens. I have created this projects with the hopes you will partner with me to provide my students with a few items that meeting their physical and health needs.

Items such as the Del Monte Fruit Cups Variety Pack and the Skinny Pop Variety Snack Pack will provide access to food for many of my students who are homeless.

There are many students who rely heavily on the school provided meals. On occasion, students may have to skip a meal due to the struggle to get to school on time. I hope having access to healthy options keeps hungry stomachs at bay.

Another important need I'd like to provide students is the access to personal hygiene. Items like the Wet Ones Antibacterial Hand Wipes and Degree Travel Deodorant Variety are some of the many items selected to provide students with a sense of safety and cleanliness.

These students are wonderful and their love for learning is boundless. I want to allow them to grow without having to think on an empty stomach of worried that they didn't get to come feeling their best.
