My Project

I am trying to make sure that my students do not have to worry about where their next meal is coming from.

My students often genuinely beg me for food.

They are high School Students. I have been feeding them out of my pocket and now I need a little help. Some of my students eat only once a day and that only happens when they come to school.

I want to supplement their school lunch with snacks to keep their focus and keep their hunger at bay until they get to their lunch period. This could be due to not being able to afford their own snacks, giving a little extra effort at lunch activities or PE, or just not having had time to get enough to eat at home or at lunch. My goal is that no student should go hungry

These snacks will help our students' energy stay high so that they can be curious and creative throughout their day without worrying about where their next meal will come from. Snacks can keep students from getting hungry and losing focus. These snacks will be a comfort to our students who are having difficulties as they will be able to focus on school instead of their empty stomachs.

Thank you for your support and encouragement!
