My Project

Please help me to stock my office with snacks for my high school students during the school day. Our school district is a Title I school and many of the kids don’t have the money to buy snacks at school or those snacks aren’t provided at home for them to bring.

These teens are growing so fast and they need the extra fuel to get through the school day.

This way I’ll be able to give those in need of that extra snack a little boost in between meals and they will be able stay focused in the classroom.
