Thank you letter from a student:
Dear Snack Program, thank you for providing us with snacks. It means a lot to us to know that you guys care about the children who don’t have enough food. It’s really nice of to take time out of your day buying the ingredients and making all those snacks for the food cart. It must have been expensive buying all those snacks and ingredients for the whole school. So thank you for taking your time to all of this, all the students appreciate this.
