My Project

Many of our students do not have enough food to eat at home. They often come to school late and hungry. Hunger is a huge barrier within our community. It is hard to focus on an empty stomach. These snacks will be used for students who come to school hungry and when a student need something in their stomach. By doing this it will help our students focus on their learning. It is hard to learn when you are hungry. This donation will help our students succeed and will set them up for success.
