Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

This project aims to support low-income students by ensuring they have access to essential food products. By addressing their basic needs, we aim to create a stable and healthy environment where students can focus on their education and personal growth.

At our high school, many of our students come from low-income families who struggle to meet their basic needs.

Hunger significantly impacts our students' ability to focus and perform well in school. To address this issue, we are seeking donations to provide food to our students in need.

This is the third year that I have done this project. Each year I am more amazed at the generosity of regular people. My project is designed to provide students with food items that they cannot afford themselves. The past support has been so overwhelming that I have enough hygiene products to start the year this year and will focus on food items.

The impact that this has on the students that come to me for the food products is profound. Thanks to generous people such as yourselves, my students are comfortable coming in and getting hygiene products or to simply get a snack without feeling ashamed. I plan to continue this project as long as there are generous donors, such as yourselves, who are willing to help.
