My name is Ben LaSala.
I am in the 7th grade at M-W Middle School, and I am raising money for: https://Dinners4kidsoc.org.
https://Dinners4kidsOC.org. is an organization that provides meals for local, food-insecure children in Orange County, NY.
____________________________________________________________________
They are a completely volunteer-based program.
There is NO paid staff and NO facility expenses.
ALL of the funds donated to this program are used for the direct costs of preparing the meals.
____________________________________________________________________
I am asking that if you have any used gaming systems, controllers, or games that you would be willing to donate, I will sell them online.
I am also working with local restaurants to coordinate that on an agreed upon night https://dinners4kidsoc.org will receive a portion of that nights proceeds.
Of course any donations, large or small are greatly appreciated!

Today we’re looking at the effects of hunger on Educational Development.

• Studies show that children from homes that lack consistent access to food are more likely to experience developmental impairments in areas like language, motor skills and behavior.
• Kids at risk of hunger may be less equipped to reach their full potential as they engage with the world around them.
• According to a study by Feeding America, hunger directly impacts a child’s school performance.
• Research demonstrates that children from families who are not sure where their next meal is coming from are more likely to have lower math scores and repeat a grade, among other challenges.
• Children require nutrients so that they can grow, develop and focus on learning instead of thinking about the food they need. Ultimately, they need to be able to concentrate in the classroom so that they can succeed in school and be prepared to enter the work force.
