72% of children at risk of hunger in Brevard County reside in households with income at or below the poverty line.

The reality is that many children in our community go hungry, and for some, the weekend can be especially hard. TCHP is now providing weekend food packages to 4,000 Brevard County students each week at 60 schools. Today, please join us in making a mighty difference by helping us feed just 45 more children. Our target is $8,550, an d every dollar counts.

Your tax-deductible donation can ensure that fewer children spend nearly 70 hours without food on weekends. Let's come together to make a real impact in the lives of our most vulnerable community members.

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!
