This tops the charity’s previous record of 37,945 packages delivered during the prior school year.

According to Executive Director Bob Barnes, “the total represents the financial generosity of the community combined with the efforts of hundreds of volunteers who are always ready to do the work needed to help our local kids. Our partnership with United Way and Project Hunger plus the ongoing delivery support of the Central Brevard Sharing Center enables us to address the growing and critical problem of Brevard’s kids being hungry and undernourished.”
