Changing the world, one child at a time
For over 20+ years, Coalition For Kids has provided children a nurturing, faith-based environment. From humble beginnings in Johnson City, we’ve expanded to multiple locations, serving hundreds of children daily. We believe in love and support for every child, regardless of circumstances. Our programs focus on moral character, spiritual foundations, physical health, and mental confidence. Through various activities, we empower each child to reach their full potential.
Our Partnership
In January 2026, Braswell Family Farms launched a nearly two-year campaign with Food City to further support the Coalition For Kids' mission. We will donate 10¢ per dozen of the Food City exclusive Natural Choice Cage Free White Eggs. Our goal is to raise over $200,000 which will give 300+ kids daily access to tutoring, enrichment, and a safe, nurturing place after school.
Why It Matters
Approximately 70% of U.S. children can’t read at grade level. If a child isn’t reading proficiently by third grade, they are 25x more likely to go to jail and 22x more likely to struggle with addiction.
Cooking Competition
In April of 2026, Braswell Family Farms teamed up with Food City to host a cooking competition at the Coalition For Kids facility. Three chefs were challenged to create a breakfast style recipe featuring Braswell Family Farms' Natural Choice Cage Free White Eggs. The dishes were presented as a blind taste test to the students and staff at C4K. The winning recipe became a staple menu item during the Coalition For Kids summer program.
The participating chefs:
Nate Campbell
Culinary Trainer, Food City
created the Breakfast Monte Cristo
Tony Mammarella
Corporate Executive Chef, Food City
created the Southwest Omelet Canoe
Jill Ledes
Head Chef, Coalition For Kids
created the Bacon and Egg Cheese Tartlet
Invest In A Child
Coalition For Kids can only serve as many children as allowed by the generosity of others. When you invest in the lives of their kids, you provide the love and support they need to succeed in school–and life.
How to Help
Winning Recipe
Our favorite way to enjoy the C4K Cage Free Eggs is the winning "Monte Cristo" Recipe created by Nate Campbell, Food City Culinary Trainer.
French Toast Hot Ham & Cheese (Breakfast Monte Cristo)
INGREDIENTS:
2 Slices Brioche Bread
¼ c. Heavy Cream
1 egg
Cinnamon
2.5oz Maple Honey Ham (Sliced thin)
1.5oz Mild Cheddar Cheese
1.5oz Baby Swiss Cheese
1.5 oz Maple Syrup
Vanilla
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Preheat grill, griddle, or stove to medium-low heat.
Combine heavy cream, egg, 1oz of maple syrup, a splash of vanilla, and a dash of cinnamon into a bowl and whisk until combined.
Portion your ham and cheese (for ease of assembly).
Place portioned ham in a pan and toss it into the oven for a few minutes, until the ham is hot.
Place the 2 slices of brioche bread in egg mixture for a few seconds to allow bread to soak up the mixture.
Butter or lightly oil the cooking surface and place bread slices on the cooking surface and begin to cook (45seconds-2 mins per side).
Once the first side is flipped, add your slices of cheese and top it with your hot ham.
While the other side is cooking, place the remaining .5oz of maple syrup in a serving bowl for dipping.
Once the next side is cooked/browned to your liking- place it on top of your ham to create your sandwich.
Plate sandwich by cutting on an angle and dusting with powdered sugar.
