My Project

Located in beautiful Crown Heights, Brooklyn New York, my school is the second home for over 130 amazing individuals! My scholars enjoy learning and participating in extracurricular activities daily.

What I love about my students is that they come to school daily willing and eager to learn but some days their energy is so low because they are hungry and having access to healthy snacks daily is a challenge for them.

My wish for my students is not to learn on a empty stomach, it will be a blessing to always have snacks to give them when they need it. I always come out of pocket for this but as you can imagine this is a huge expense so any donation will help and my students and myself will be grateful.
