My Project

The specific items ordered will be a great start to the day for students who may not have an opportunity to have breakfast at home before school begins. This will also support those students who may need additional snacks throughout the day, especially found in older students when the school lunch is not enough. Lastly, students who deal with food insecurity will have an outlet where they can get food without the embarrassment of other students involved in their personal background. When resources are available to support children, it makes the school day a little bit easier to handle.
