166 CHILDREN TO BE PROVIDED WEEKEND FOOD
Thanks to the fundraising efforts of Jersey Mike’s Subs in Brevard County, 166 children will receive a package of food each weekend during the upcoming school year.
Over $25,000 was raised during Jersey Mike’s annual Day of Giving on March 30 with funds going to The Children’s Hunger Project.
According to Bryan Price, franchise owner of the five Jersey Mike’s locations in Brevard County, “We have worked with The Children’s Hunger Project for many years and know how efficiently this money will be spent. The issue of childhood hunger and malnutrition, not ‘somewhere’ in the world, but right here in Brevard County, is staggering and difficult to understand. Whatever the reason, we stand firmly with this charity to help address the problem.”
This is the fourth year in which the local Jersey Mike’s Subs locations have helped to raise awareness and money to address the problem of local kids going hungry on weekends.
