A curriculum designed to advance educational equity |
Truist collaborated with EVERFI to make learning equitable, developing a digital reading program called WORD Force so that students across the nation have free access to early literacy tools.
We wanted to share it with you so you could share with any family or organization that might benefit. It’s offered at no cost, making WORD Force available to elementary students nationwide. The curriculum, which aligns with educational standards, is available to families including your families and community-based organizations to use in out-of-school settings at no cost.

What can you do to impact a child's life right here in Brevard?
Volunteer, share awareness of our mission with others, have a fundraiser and donate - even a small monthly donation adds up!
While many organizations have federal and state funding, we rely on the goodness of businesses, civic groups, faith-based organizations and individuals. All of our meals are prepped, packed and distributed by volunteers. As a TCHP volunteer commented, “There is nothing more honorable than caring for hungry children. You all are heroes.” THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for being heroes to so many local children in need.
