Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our High School service club has launched a food drive to benefit families in need during the upcoming holiday season. We will partner with a neighborhood community center who will distribute the food collected before the Thanksgiving holiday.

The materials that we are requesting will allow us to store the collected items in a safe space for the collection period.

We requested two laptop covers to protect the Mac's that will be used by students to keep inventory and complete work need for this task. In addition, we added some snacks to distribute to our students while they are in action as the bulk of our work will be taking place after school hours.
