Fuel My High Schoolers' Brains - Please

Help me give my students fuel for their day! I have a dedicated snack drawer I fund personally, and with 88 students a day, I would so appreciate some support.

My Project

Many of my students come from low-income families, and their school day often stretches long without a healthy snack to keep them focused. With your support, we can ensure that every student has the energy they need to succeed in class. A small donation can make a big difference—help us provide nourishing snacks for 88 students every day. Your generosity will not only fuel their bodies but also their minds, allowing them to thrive academically and socially.

Thank you for investing in the future of these bright young minds!

My students are AMAZING, and I also get visits many days from former students asking if they could pick a snack from my drawer.
