The Children's Hunger Project

The Children's Hunger Project On empty stomachs, kids don’t have the energy to focus, engage, learn and grow.

The Children’s Hunger Project provides kid friendly weekend and school break food packages to Brevard elementary students on free/reduced lunch—filling in the gap from Friday lunch to Monday breakfast for kids who might otherwise go without food. Yet, this is the reality for many children who worry about when they’ll have their next meal. Every week, The Children's Hunger Project helps as many ele

mentary school children as possible to carry kid-friendly food home in their backpack.…it's lightweight, easy for kids to handle, and no cooking is required. On Monday, the kids return to school but with a better and healthier foundation for learning. Thanks to many volunteers and supporters, we have served Brevard County children on school weekends without missing a single week, since 2010. To continue serving and help those still on the wait list for weekend food fuels our passion and compassion to work on behalf of hungry children locally.

OUR GREATEST NEED RIGHT NOW? FOOD! 🎒💙

We’re only in our third week of feeding children this school year, and the number of kids needing weekend food is already growing.

As more children are added to our program, more food is leaving our shelves each week—and we need our community’s help keeping them stocked!

🏫 Schools
💼 Businesses
⛪ Churches
🏘️ Neighborhoods
🤝 Clubs & organizations

Now is a great time to host a food drive for The Children’s Hunger Project! Every food item collected helps us fill another weekend food package and make sure a local child has something to eat when school meals aren’t available.

📦 Grab a box. Rally your group. Start collecting.
Together, we can keep our shelves stocked and continue saying YES when another child needs our help. 💙

WHAT A WAY TO WRAP UP BACK TO SCHOOL! 💙🎒

We started our Back-to-School Campaign with one big goal: sponsor 100 local children for the school year.

And once again, this incredible community showed up in a BIG way!

Because of YOU, we didn’t just reach our goal—we blew right past it! Every sponsorship means a local child will have weekend food throughout the school year and a reminder that their community is behind them. ❤️

To every person, family, business, and organization that sponsored a child, donated, shared our posts, or helped spread the word—THANK YOU!

🎒 Our campaign may be over, but the impact of your generosity will be felt all school year long.

Brevard, you showed up for our kiddos once again! 💙

LAST DAY! Can We Hit 300?! 🚨🎒

Our Back-to-School Campaign ends TODAY, and thanks to this amazing community, 273 children have already been sponsored! 💙

That means we’re just 27 CHILDREN AWAY FROM 300!

Can we do it before the day is over?! 🙌

💙 $190 sponsors one child for the entire school year
💙 $16/month helps provide weekend food all year long

Every sponsorship means another local child can head home for the weekend with food in their backpack—and the reminder that their community cares.

🎯 273 sponsored. 27 to go. Let’s hit 300!

For a child facing hunger, the effects can reach far beyond an empty stomach.

📚 Hunger can make it harder to focus and learn in school.
⚡ Children may struggle with low energy and concentration.
❤️ Food insecurity can affect a child’s health, development and overall well-being.

That’s why the weekend matters. At The Children’s Hunger Project, we’re helping bridge the gap between Friday and Monday, so local children can return to school ready to learn, grow and thrive. 🎒💙

Together, we can make sure hunger doesn’t get in the way of a child’s potential.
