TCHP Partners with Southeast Petro for New Headquarters

Thanks to Southeast Petro and the Shah family, who donated 100% of the building's equity, a building in the heart of Cocoa Village will soon be the new TCHP home on a permanent basis.

Southeast Petro and the Shah family have made a significant contribution to TCHP's quest to end child hunger in Brevard.

MH Williams, Eleven 18, CEG, and Art Kraft Signs are among the local businesses and contractors who have donated time and services.

Thanks to the generosity of the late Bruce Nelson and his family, The Children's Hunger Project has been operating out of the Bruce Nelson Child Hunger Center, which is located next to Cocoa/Coastal Hyundai, rent-free for the past 6 years.

Newly Donated "Walkie Truck" Improves Operations at TCHP

The Raymond Corporation generously donated a Walkie Straddle Truck to us, thanks to Ross and Dee Colquhoun. The Walkie Pallet Stacker allows us to carry twice as much weight with half the effort. We've immediately noticed increased efficiency and the ability to better manage our warehouse while transporting items faster. Ross was previously the Chairman and CEO of the Raymond Corporation.

Says Cheryl Cominsky, TCHP Executive Director, "We are so grateful and blessed to have this tool that will help us in our day-to-day operations. This kind donation results in our ability to feed more students. We deeply appreciate the Colquhouns and the Raymond Corporation for fulfilling one of our "wishlist" items, allowing us to better serve the children of Brevard County."

Please call 321-610-1900 for donation drop-off to ensure someone is available to receive the items at

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.

For those who can make a significant contribution, consider joining the Children’s Circle of Hope Society - this society is open to anyone contributing $1,000 or more annually. Contributions can be set up on a recurring basis of $84 per month.

Many thanks to local businesses, organizations and individuals that have stepped up to help us with our funding needs. Because of your help, we are making the lives of children in Brevard better during a challenging time.

Please consider including The Children's Hunger Project in your beneficiary and estate plans. Leave a lasting legacy of fighting childhood hunger in our community!

Thank you for caring and sharing.

You are the ones who give hungry children in Brevard hope!

The Children's Hunger Project is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt charitable organization.

TCHP has consistently provided weekend meals for school children in Brevard County since 2010.
