Cereal4All’s annual cereal drive, organized by Jett and Luke Justin, collected over 80,000 bowls of cereal during this year’s spring drive for Boca Helping Hands (BHH). Through this donation, BHH will provide 8,007 boxes of cereal to families in need.
The 16-year-old twin brothers and Boca Raton residents aimed to collect 4,000 lbs. of cereal across 20 Palm Beach County schools. They ended up collecting 10,619 lbs.
Since Jett and Luke organized their first cereal drive in 2016, BHH has received approximately 250,000 bowls worth of cereal from Cereal4All’s food drives. The organization’s impact has grown beyond Palm Beach County, with student ambassadors in over 40 schools in Florida, 25 schools in other states and one in Canada, benefitting 40 food banks total. This has resulted in nearly 420,000 bowls of cereal donated to families in need.
“We created Cereal4All to fight hunger around America’s breakfast tables because millions of American families suffer from food insecurity, which means they can’t always afford enough meals for everyone in their homes. Those families depend on food banks to help ease their hunger issues. Since breakfast food is one of the least donated items to food banks, that means pantry bags of meals distributed to families in need are often missing breakfast food,” says Luke.
