When Brooke Thomas was in kindergarten some of her friends couldn't afford lunch.
"I decided I wanted to do something, so I brought them snacks," explained Thomas, now 17. "If you see something, you can help out. You know, just one small act can do so much."
Thomas never forgot her friends who couldn't afford lunch. So, her family started The Thomas Promise Foundation in 2002.
"Every single week we are giving out between 7,000-8,000 meals to kids," said the foundation's Joe Simmons.
The foundation gives food to 31 Pasco County schools so that students can have food for the weekend.
