Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Proper nutrition is essential for cognitive development. By providing nutritious snacks, we empower our students to stay attentive, engaged, and eager to participate in class activities.

A simple snack can make all the difference.

Many of our students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Your donation will help level the playing field by ensuring that all students have access to the same learning resources, regardless of their financial circumstances.

A well-fed student is a happier student. Snacks will not only satisfy hunger but also contribute to a positive classroom atmosphere where students feel cared for and valued. By offering nutritious snacks, we aim to instill healthy eating habits in our students from an early age, setting them on a path to better lifelong wellness.
