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 elementary 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.

That's an incredible milestone, but the need continues to grow, and thousands of local children still need our help.
