JUNE IS HUNGER AWARENESS MONTH
We see a hungry child. We buy food. We feed the child.
Due to school closures,The Children’s Hunger Project in partnership with Brevard Public Schools ensured children would be fed while they were unable to go to school. With the help of amazing partners and volunteers, we were able to feed more children than ever before during the pandemic. With small group weekly packing events and food distribution at schools, TCHP has:

  • Provided 56,000 weekend food packages for hungry children up to age 18.

  • Recruited and organized over one thousand food packing and distribution volunteers.

  • TCHP Volunteers logged more than 3,500 hours preparing and providing weekend food packages at all school distribution sites.

  • TCHP also provided food packages for local partner organizations to include Students in Transition, Cocoa and Melbourne PAL, Brevard Cares, Boys and Girls Clubs, and Club Esteem.

JUNE NEEDS
During June, TCHP continues to feed hungry children in partnership with BPS. Over three thousand weekly food packets are being distributed at 15 school sites, meaning nearly $53,000 is needed to support the supply of food packets for the month.
HUNGER DOESN'T TAKE A SUMMER BREAK
TCHP will continue meal delivery for children throughout the summer, partnering with United Way of Brevard’s “Feed and Read” program, which provides nutrition, mentoring, and free books to children during the summer school break. Learn More
