Invest in a Community Without Hunger
Plates for a Purpose is a fundraiser for The Hawbridge School.
Did you know? Charter School funding averages up to 30% less than traditional public school funding; donations from families both help close that gap and leverage grant funds by demonstrating community investment in our school.
About Us
The Hawbridge School is a tuition-free, public K–12 Title I charter school located in Saxapahaw, NC, serving students across multiple counties. We are
committed to providing high-quality, project-based, interdisciplinary education that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and community connection. Many
of our students face food insecurity, and currently:
- The school does not provide lunch
- Snacks are sustained solely through family donations
- We do not expect families experiencing food insecurity to fill the gap themselves.
Our Goal
Raise $40,000 to establish a sustainable food access program:
Offer lunch and snacks at low or no cost to students
Ensure every child learns nourished and ready to succeed
Build long-term systems to support families equitably
