Latch Key will be hosting their annual Hamburger Supper on Tuesday, April 12th from 5-7 in the courtyard at 2411 Coggin Avenue (First Christian Church, between 13th and 14th Street). This is the organizations main fundraiser. Everyone in the organization is involved, the staff and students make the decorations, board members and staff volunteer their evening to work the event and parents prepare baked goods for the bake sales.
The Pearl Griffin Memorial Latch Key Program is an afterschool program in Brownwood that provides quality childcare services at no charge to families whose parents work or go to school during afterschool hours, qualify financially for free or reduced lunches and have children 4 years old in Pre-K through 6th grade.
Latch Key provides a healthy snack, help with homework and a safe alternative to children having to go home to an empty home when released from school. Latch Key is a licensed childcare facility through the Texas Department of Health and Human Services. There is no charge for this program due to grants and fundraisers during the year.
Tickets are $5 for children 12 years old and under, adults are $7 each. This includes a hamburger, chips, and a drink. The proceeds from this event 100% stay in the organization to provide care for the children. Everything for the hamburger supper is provided by the community. The sponsors for this are Humphrey Petes, Howard Payne University Athletics, United Supermarket, Chick-fil-a, Subway on Austin, Dr Pepper Bottling in Brownwood, and Christy Habekott. The Pecan Valley Kiwanis organization comes to cook out on the grills! These burgers are delicious!!
