In my LA community, nutritional snacks are few and practically non-existent for my students. They live in a food desert and do not have the means to afford healthy foods or snacks. Students typically resort to eating processed foods high in sugar, sodium, and trans fat which creates even more health disparities in their community.
Simultaneously sometimes the snacks I provide in class and during tutoring, are the only meal the students eat all day. For the human mind to effectively learn, physical needs like hunger must be met for the brain to be able to process and create critical thinking. My students deserve access to quality foods with high nutritional value to nourish their young minds! Help us heal by providing a meal!
