Olivia, 12, dreams of studying Marine Biology at Texas A&M University at Galveston. Thanks to the support of generous friends like you, she has the nutrition to fuel her education today and prepare for the future of her dreams.
“I love anything with animals,” Olivia says of her vision to work with animals one day.
Through your partnership, Olivia’s family receives a bag of nutritious groceries every Friday, through a BVFB School-Based Food Pantry at Pecan Trail Intermediate in College Station.
Before visiting the School Pantry, Olivia says her family didn’t have a lot of food on hand. Now, Olivia, her brother, 15, and her mom have the healthy food needed to thrive. Olivia especially enjoys the fruit cups she receives.
Not only is a healthy diet imperative for students like Olivia to grow and learn, but it also offers a sense of stability for our young neighbors to know where the next meal is coming from.
Thank you for helping pave the way towards a stronger future for so many Brazos Valley families like Olivia’s.
