My Project

Since I work for a Title 1 school, many of the children I work with come from low income households that might be facing food insecurity. In order to keep my students fed and energized, I've decided to give out free snacks to my students throughout the day. I have 166 students, so feeding everyone is quite costly, and I can't afford to do it on my own. In addition to snacks, I use candy occasionally as an incentive for my students. Please consider donating to this project. You may be helping feed a student in need.
