The Children’s Hunger Project kids thank all our amazing supporters. |
You may not know each other by name, but they know what it's like to have full tummies because of you!
Without your generous support, we could not have provided essential weekend and school break nutrition to over 3,500 Brevard County students each week.

"Many of these kids would go from Friday lunch to Monday breakfast without a complete meal. Those children who get these packs look forward to their delivery each week. This program has been a huge help and I hope to see it get even bigger." School parent liaison

Faith Partner Spotlight: St. John the Evangelist |
|
|
|
St. John the Evangelist Catholic Community hosted a special packing event for The Children’s Hunger Project. Parishioners became assembly lines of volunteers to effectively pack food packages to sustain our kids.
Many children are going home with food in their backpacks because of our faith community. Full bellies help young brains work better, and with the help of St. John the Evangelist parishoners, kids at risk of hunger go back to school on Mondays with one less challenge!
