Food Pantry Was A Success

So I set up a food pantry in my classroom last weekend to help out since SNAP benefits were shutdown. So far, it has been a huge success. I had several parents generously give items to the pantry and many of my students and/or their parents have come to get items.

I had one of my students come in after school Wednesday do get stuff for dinner for his family. He didn't know what to get, so I helped him "shop" for a good balanced meal.

I think the pantry has helped a lot of my students and their families. I'll keep it going until SNAP starts up again (theoretically next week). I am toying with the idea of keeping it up even past that until I run out of goods to give out. We'll see.
