Volunteers from various businesses and groups spend a few hours packing
food bags for children as a team-building project, while others volunteer to
deliver the packages to schools.
permanent basis. Proof once again that angels walk among us.”
More than 50 percent of Brevard students are on the free or
reduced lunch program and receive a free breakfast and lunch
during the week. Without The Children’s Hunger Project,
Friday lunch would be their last meal until Monday. The weekend
meals provided by the charity ensure children are eating
during the weekend and will be prepared to learn on Monday.
With more than 2,900 meals to prepare each week, it takes
hundreds of volunteers and a small dedicated staff to orchestrate
the packing and deliveries. The project collaborates with
Brevard public school nutritionists to guarantee the children
receive adequate nutrition. All the food is prepped by volunteers,
packed by volunteers and delivered by volunteers.
Food items include canned ravioli or rice with chicken and
vegetables, milk, juice boxes, breakfast bars, cereal and other
nonperishable items.
“A lot of businesses and groups will come in and pack as a
team-building project but individuals are always welcome
to participate,” said the charity’s executive director, Cheryl
Cominsky. “Volunteers currently meet on Tuesdays and
Wednesdays for a couple of hours and then our delivery
volunteers will transport the packages to the schools. It’s
really a lot of fun and we’ve seen some lasting friendships
blossom during our packing events. Volunteers also help with
office mailings and phone calls, and staff information booths
at various community events.”
Of course, donations are always welcome and 100 percent
of the money collected goes toward feeding hungry kids. A
monthly recurring gift of just $16, or $190 annually, will feed
a child for the entire school year.
