Fund the Fundamentals!

Help me give my students essential items that they cannot purchase on their own since several students experience period poverty, food insecurity, and/or low income.

My Project

The hope is that by providing food, school project supplies, and menstrual supplies, students can focus on their academics. Several students are in transitional housing or experience low income. The items will help them overcome hunger, menstrual inequity, and insecurity from not having art supplies. The donation will help limit avoiding classes and classwork due to embarrassment or the inability to maintain attention. Instead, they will have the necessary items and confidence in order to succeed in the classroom. Your gift will help them obtain our expectations for students of our school to ROAR!
