A.P. Morris Early Childhood Center is looking for support for their All for Lunch and Lunch for All initiative! The goal of this initiative is to help pay off student lunch debts, and to create a reserve of funds for the school so that if a child comes through the lunch line without funds, their lunch is fully covered. This ensures that all students have access to a nutritious lunch regardless of their family's financial situation. Even a small donation can make a powerful impact for our students! With just $15 you can pay for 5 students' lunches. So please join us in our mission to ensure every child gets the nutrition they deserve! Your generosity will make a significant difference and empower us to bring about positive change. All for Lunch and Lunch for All! See the link for details: https://allforlunch.org/APMorris/
