 THE CHILDREN’S HUNGER PROJECT UPDATES DURING CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

Cocoa, FL (March 25, 2020) Due to the school closures, The Children’s Hunger Project (TCHP) will continue partnering with Brevard County Public Schools (BPS) to ensure children will be fed in Brevard County. TCHP shared their updated strategic approach that will be taken to feed the children in Brevard County during the coronavirus pandemic.

Meals will be distributed to any child age 18 years and younger. Each child will receive a package containing one breakfast meal and one lunch meal.

Children may come without a parent and will be served. However, parents/guardians who come must have the children present with them in order to receive meals for those children, per USDA requirements.

To ensure social distancing, BPS requests that parents drive into the bus loop and release their trunk; a BPS employee will place one meal package per child in the trunk of the vehicle.

Parents/Guardians and/or children on foot will be served; however, social distancing protocols will also be adhered to in this situation.

TCHP will continue providing weekend food packages to BPS designated sites on Fridays. TCHP also partners with other community sites to provide meal packages.

The Children’s Hunger Project (TCHP)

In Brevard County, more than 50% of children utilize free and reduced-price meal programs through their schools, and although students are provided for during the week, the weekend is often unaccounted for. As a result, many kids are at risk of childhood hunger and malnutrition. The Children’s Hunger Project, Inc. (TCHP) exists to help elementary schools provide food for the weekend to as many kids as possible every week.
