Feeding Brevard’s Most Vulnerable Children
Brevard’s teachers know which kids lack weekend nutrition. You can help ensure that kids have meals on weekends. Less than $0.42 a day, just $12.50 a month, provides food to a child at risk of weekend hunger.
Our goal is to help students thrive so they can be ready to learn when returning to school Monday morning. Click here to see more videos.
Ryan Firth, Southeast Petro’s Vice President of Wholesale Wholesale Operations and Board Member of The Children’s Hunger Project is ecstatic about the program, “One of Southeast Petro’s core values is community. We know that our children are our future leaders, and we must lift them up and allow them the opportunities to succeed in life. Charities like The Children’s Hunger Project are integral in providing children what they need to achieve success.”

Brevard County Schools, to their great credit, provide a free breakfast and lunch during the week. For some students, lunch on Friday is the last regular meal they will receive until the following Monday. The Children’s Hunger Project provides weekend meals to promote childhood nutrition throughout the school year. Teachers and school administrators on the front line of caring for our children during the week, recognize firsthand the weekend hunger problem. The teachers know as they wave goodbye on Fridays, which students will not have proper nutrition over the weekend. They know which students will arrive Monday morning ill-prepared to learn properly.
