Help us feed those children in need. The average cost per child is $7.50 per week. The supplemental food will be provided to school children at local elementary schools whose homes are considered to be food insecure. The children who receive the supplemental food are enrolled in the Free Reduce Lunch Program and will be given an allotment of food each Friday to ensure they have food to eat while at home for the weekend. Currently we are providing 20 Bag Packs per week. Our Goal for the 2011-2012 school year is to double that (40 Bag Packs per week). You can donate online by clicking the "Make a Difference Donate" Button above. Please indicate that your donation is for the Bag Pack Feeding Program or you can send a check to: Central Brevard Sharing Center Children's Feeding Program P.O. Box 3363 Cocoa, FL 32924-3363   One hundred percent of the funds raised will be used to support this feeding program.

Did you know that the Sharing Center has a Thrift Store on our premises at 113 Aurora Street, Cocoa? Due to the location of our property in relation to the highway we are a “hidden jewel’’ for shoppers. Our thrift store is a vital part of our operations, providing about one third of our operating funds. The store is also a program, in that we give away clothing, household goods, and furniture to local residents in need. (Last year we provided assistance with items from the store to  clients 16,558 times.)

We accept donations of almost anything,  and we will come and pick up furniture and appliances anywhere between the Pineda Causeway and Port St. John.

Since we are not visible to a high traffic street, our most successful advertising is word of mouth.  We ask visitors to our store to tell their friends, family and neighbors. We have put a great deal of effort into improving the store and the display and pricing of merchandise. We have an inventory tracking system and we rotate our merchandise and we have weekly sales. We have over 5,000 square feet of furniture and appliance space, and we receive new donations 6 days a week.

 If you are a bargain hunter, a collector, an antiques treasure hunter, or just a browser, you should visit our store. If you have not been to our store in a while you will be surprised at the extent of the improvements.

We welcome your donations. Please call 631-0306 for furniture/ appliance pick up, or drop clothes and small items of at 113 Aurora St, Cocoa ( 1 block south of Hwy 520, across from Paradise Ford).

We welcome comments and questions during your visits to our store. You can ask for me, and I will also be glad to give you a brief tour of our facility and explain our programs.

I hope to see you in our store.
