Giving Tuesday: Harvest of Hope

Spreading Hope, One Basket at a Time

This past November 4, 2025, the Pig & Whistle family was truly overwhelmed by the incredible generosity of our community! Because of you, we were able to raise a fantastic $2,500 to benefit a local organization: Space Coast Brigade of Hope: Harvest of Hope.

Our goal was simple: make Thanksgiving a little brighter for families in need right here on the Space Coast. With the funds raised, Pig & Whistle was proud to purchase 100 $25 Publix gift cards.

These gift cards will be included in the Thanksgiving baskets distributed by Harvest of Hope, allowing recipients to buy the specific items they need to create a warm and memorable holiday meal for their loved ones. It’s about more than just food; it’s about providing choice, dignity, and a shared sense of community during a special time of year.

Giving Tuesday: American Legion

Pub, Grub, and Good Deeds

This past Giving Tuesday, the air was buzzing with generosity. 

From the moment we opened our doors on October 7th to the last call, the pub was filled with patrons eager to enjoy a meal and contribute to the cause. It was a day where every pint of beer and every plate of fish & chips directly helped local veterans. This wasn’t just a fundraiser; it was a community celebration of service and gratitude. 

We brought the community together in an incredible display of support, the Pig & Whistle will be donating $3,500, to the American Legion Indian River Post 22, located in Cocoa. 

The fundraiser was a timely effort to support Post 22’s building fund. The organization is a vital hub for veterans and their families in the community, and the funds raised will go towards much-needed repairs to its century-old building, which is currently facing a termite problem. 

This event was a perfect example of how small businesses can have a big impact. By simply doing what we do every day, the Pig & Whistle provided a simple way for everyone to participate in Giving Tuesday. This initiative shows how the spirit of giving can bring people together and build a stronger, more supportive community for everyone, especially those who have served our country. 

American Legion Post 22 offered its heartfelt thanks to the Pig & Whistle for their generous support. It’s a reminder that when local businesses and community organizations come together, amazing things can happen.

Giving Tuesday: Aging Matters Meals on Wheels

At The Pig & Whistle, we believe in more than serving up great food, pints, and good times — we believe in giving back to the community that supports us. That’s why on the first Tuesday of every month, we dedicate our Giving Tuesday to a local nonprofit or community organization in need. On these special days from open to close, 100% of food and beverage sales go directly to making a difference right here in Cocoa Beach and Brevard County.

For September 2025, we were proud to partner with Aging Matters in Brevard, a nonprofit that provides essential services to our local seniors. The funds raised are being used to support their brand-new Adopt a Senior program, as well as their initiative to reduce the waitlist for Meals on Wheels, a lifeline for so many older adults in our community.

Special thanks to Ken Parks and Tom Kammerdener of Aging Matters in Brevard, for facilitating our support of their organization. Their dedication and leadership inspire us, and we look forward to continuing this partnership in the future to ensure that no senior in our community goes without the care, meals, and connection they deserve.

To everyone who dined, donated, or spread the word — thank you. Your support made this Giving Tuesday another meaningful success, and together, we’re proving that a small pub with a big heart can make a real difference.

Giving Tuesday: Cocoa Beach Jr/Sr High Athletics Program

August’s Giving Tuesday at The Pig & Whistle was another incredible night of community, camaraderie, and giving back. All food and beverage sales from the evening went directly to support Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High School Athletics, a program that continues to inspire pride across the Space Coast. They are heading up a new Athletics Training Program which needed a new golf cart and we’re happy to have been able to support that goal.

Thanks to our guests who came out to eat, drink, and support the cause, we were able to help fund essential needs for the school’s athletic program—covering costs such as equipment, uniforms, and travel for the students who represent Cocoa Beach with spirit and determination.

The energy in the pub was fantastic, with friends and neighbors gathering to raise a pint for the Minutemen. It was proof once again that when our community comes together, amazing things can happen.

We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make this month’s Giving Tuesday a success. Here’s to good food, great company, and keeping local athletics strong.

Cheers, Cocoa Beach—see you at the next Giving Tuesday!
