The Children’s Hunger Project Day
Brevard County proclaimed December 10th of each year as The Children's Hunger Project Day, in recognition of our steady and consistent growth feeding hungry kids locally. In 12 years, we have not missed a single week of providing food packages to hungry children.

Serving Local Children at Risk of Hunger for 12 Years |
We are aiming to achieve 60 more monthly donations of $16/month during December! Our goal: to be able to feed 60 more children before the year-end through monthly donations. Your tax-deductible contribution makes a big difference in the lives of local children. $16/month feeds a child the entire school year on weekends and on school breaks. That's just 53 cents per day.
$32/mo feeds two, $48 feeds three, $64 feeds four, and $80 feeds five children. If you'd like to commit to even $5, $10 or $12 per month, every donation can help feed a hungry child! Thanks for considering making a contribution this December!
TCHP has been able to grow with our community's support, from originally serving 1 school and 27 students to serving 50 schools and over 3,500 children on weekends and during school breaks.
Imagine going home to to an empty cupboard or refrigerator as a kid. It's something no child should have to experience during the nearly 70 hours on weekends without school meals. That's why our founders, who recognized the issue - created this organization, and it's businesses, volunteers and individuals like you, who have helped us grow.

|
Because of you, we've already started achieving our goal. 10+ donations at $16/mo received! |

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

Businesses like Critical Frequency (above), Southern Self Storage, Village Idiot Pub and coming up, the Cocoa Village Holiday Bike Parade all play such a valuable role by ensuring we have the food to put together the food packs.
MANY THANKS to local businesses, groups, churches and individuals, for your food drives throughout 2022 which helped sustain our kids!
