My Project

Due to economic impoverishment, my students frequently arrive at school famished. Since there are many homeless children in our school, it is essential to make sure they have access to food.

These small snacks can frequently make the difference between a successful day and a difficult day for students.

There aren't many grocery stores in the area where my students reside. Their primary source of nutrition is the food served at schools. Your contribution to this project will assist me in giving my kids some food for in-between and during class. My scholars will be grateful for your assistance.
