On behalf of the children we serve, we want to say THANK YOU to the Ascension Catholic Community for your continued support!
Ascension Catholic Church in Melbourne has adopted Creel, Croton and Sherwood Elementary schools. They have hosted us at their church to share our mission of ensuring kids locally do not go hungry on weekends and during school breaks.The congregation made donations and raised enough to “adopt” Creel and Croton for the entire school year.
They purchase the food from us, hold packing events at their own church and have their volunteers deliver the meals.

Health Tips from Arnav Jain with
the Edgewood TCHP School Club
Arnav Jain interviews health professionals and athletes to break down key topics surrounding nutrition and health.
After the founders, Arnav Jain and Vijay Taylor, saw how many Americans are affected by deadly diseases like diabetes and coronary heart disease just from nutrition and lifestyle choices, they knew they had to take action.
Arnav started his own podcast, Nutritious: You Guide To A Healthier Lifestyle, where he educates the public on the effect nutrition and lifestyle changes can have on various diseases.
Check out a recent podcast here.

In July, Edgewood TCHP Club presented a $2,100 donation. Above, Edgewood chapter leaders William Struble, Thejas Kumar, and Arnav Jain, alongside their sponsor, Meredith Reninger. | | |
