“The Summit will bring awareness to Brevard County’s faith-based leaders of the significant hunger issues local kids are facing and how their congregations can help generate the change necessary to help hungry kids here in our own backyard,” said Rob Rains, President of United Way.

The event, designed for religious leaders and leaders of faith-based organizations, will be held at the Holiday Inn-Viera and will be jointly sponsored by Project Hunger, United Way and The Children’s Hunger Project.

There is no charge for religious leaders and representatives of faith-based organizations.

Nutritionists, pediatricians, teachers, and other experts will frame the dangers of childhood malnutrition and hunger as it relates directly to early childhood learning. Dangers such as inhibited cognitive development, doing poorly in school and more likelihood of medical problems are just a few of the problems associated with childhood hunger.
