💛 This World Kindness Day, Help Make a Difference for SMMUSD Students! 💛

Kindness is often shown through the simple act of caring for one another. This World Kindness Day, consider supporting Samohi’s Hunger Awareness Club Fall Digital Food Drive in support of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District’s (SMMUSD) Weekend Bags Program.

The Weekend Bags Program provides nutritious, shelf-stable food to students across SMMUSD schools to help ensure they have access to food over the weekends, when school cafeterias are closed.

Community support makes this program possible, and the need is significant. There is an easy way to help: shop directly from the Amazon Wish List below. All purchased items will ship directly to the Weekend Bags Program.

Every contribution helps support students and strengthen our school community.

This World Kindness Day, let's turn kindness into action.
