This school year has been unprecedented

The school year TCHP started providing more weekend food packages than ever. In past years, requests from schools for more food packages increased gradually. This year we started by feeding 2900 kids, and by the end of September, were serving over 3,500 children. That's an additional $9500 per month to ensure that 600 more children are fed. TCHP rose to the challenge, but we need your help to continue the level of service that is needed so kids have food to sustain them on the weekends. Please consider donating $16/month (just 53 cents per day) to help feed hungry kids right here in Brevard! Thank you.
