Help WNC Students with Snacks While They Work

Help me give my students snacks. WNC was recently impacted by Hurricane Helene and we are struggling financially. My students would love having snacks available while they complete their assignments.

My Project

Western North Carolina was recently devastated by Hurricane Helene. Our funds have been depleted and many families are still not back on their feet. I would love to provide snacks in the classroom for anyone who is hungry.

Nutritious snacks provide essential energy and nutrients that help improve students' focus and concentration during lessons.

When students are not hungry, they are more likely to engage actively in classroom activities, leading to better academic performance.

My goals for this project is to provide healthy snacks to all students to support their physical and mental well-being.

It will also increase student focus and engagement in academic activities. I believe that fostering a positive classroom environment help students learn. Food is a love language to many and I know that students do better if their stomachs are full.
