EVERYTHINGBREVARD.COM SEPTEMBER ISSUE HIGHLIGHTS TCHP MISSION
“Many households are unable to afford adequate nutrition for the children in their care,” said Cheryl Cominsky, executive director of The Children’s Hunger Project, the grassroots agency laser-focused on feeding Brevard County children at risk of going hungry.
“It’s a staggering statistic,” said Dr. Mark Rendell, superintendent of Brevard Public Schools. “A lot of our families depend on us for basic nutrition. We can’t provide it over the weekends. The Children’s Hunger Project fills in that gap.”
