PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Food insecurity has been linked with delayed development, poorer attachment, and learning difficulties in the first two years of life.
Children who are food insecure may be at higher risk for chronic health conditions
Food insecure children may be at greater risk of truancy and school tardiness
THE SCHOOL COMFORT CLOSET WOULD BE A PLACE FOR STUDENTS TO GET SNACKS FROM BEFORE GOING HOME FOR THE WEEKEND OR ON HOLIDAY BREAKS
SOME STUDENTS ARE ONLY ABLE TO EAT WHEN THEY COME TO SCHOOL
WITH THIS PLAN STUDENTS WOULDN'T HAVE TO FEAR STARVING AT HOME FROM LACK OF FOOD
THE LEADERSHIP CLASS WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HOLDING CANNED/DRY FOOD DRIVES TO KEEP THE CLOSET STOCKED
OTHER STUDENTS AND THE COMMUNITY WOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DONATE
THE COMFORT CLOSET WOULD HOUSE ALL THE NECESSITIES, NOT JUST FOOD
DAILY HYGIENE ITEMS AND CLOTHES WILL ALSO BE ACCEPTED
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT AND HELP!
