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

We're on a mission to enhance our students' learning experiences by ensuring they have the fuel they need to thrive in the classroom.

Many of our students come to school hungry, making it challenging for them to concentrate and engage fully.

We are seeking your support to provide yummy snacks that will not only satisfy their hunger but also boost their energy and focus. From nutritious trail mix to their favorite Takis, every contribution makes a significant impact. Let's come together to create a positive and nourishing environment for our young learners.

Your donation will help us build a classroom where no child goes hungry, empowering them to reach their full potential. Thank you for being a crucial part of our mission!
