Hello, and welcome to mid-December to all our TCHP followers and supporters! If you have yet to see it, TCHP's 2023 Impact Report is LIVE.

We are proud of the progress we have made so far in serving our community. However, the need is still great and we cannot do it alone. This year, we saw an increase of many more students who need our help to ensure they do not go hungry on weekends. That's why we are reaching out to you today to ask for your support. Your tax-deductible donation makes a tangible difference in the lives of local children. Together, we can ensure that no child goes hungry on weekends and during school breaks. Join us in our mission, and make a lasting impact on our community. Donate here.

TCHP is serving 1,000 more students this year than last. That's an additional $190,000 per year in funds needed so that kids don't go hungry on weekends and school breaks. Please join us in making a mighty difference. You will see in the impact report we have made strides, but we are still in dire need. Thank you for your continued support of our mission.

87¢ of every $1 goes directly toward feeding a child. With food costs growing as well as the need in families locally, your support is necessary. We know that no child should have to go hungry, which is why we are committed to providing food packages to those who need it most. We rely on the generosity of our community to help us achieve our mission.

We could never achieve our level of success without the dedication of our amazing volunteers! All our food is prepped, packed and delivered by volunteers - individuals, families, churches and businesses in the community who have a passion to help!

72% reside in households in Brevard with income at or below the poverty line while 28% are likely ineligible for federal nutrition programs. These statistics paint a dire picture of the challenges faced by our most vulnerable community members.
