Cereal4All, which runs an annual cereal drive organized by twin brothers Jett and Luke Justin, collected nearly 3,000 pounds of cereal from March through May, 2021 and donated it to Boca Helping Hands (BHH). This donation means that Boca Helping Hands will be able to provide clients with about 18,380 bowls of cereal. The Justins, 13-year-old twin brothers and Boca Raton residents, attend Don Estridge Middle School.
Breakfast food is one of the least-donated items to food banks across the country. That means not all kids and families have daily access to breakfast in their home. Like most kids, cereal is one of Jett and Luke Justin’s favorite foods.
Participants in the drive included Kindness Matters 365, Verde Elementary, Sunrise Park Elementary, Grandview Preparatory School, FAU Community Service Club, Plastridge Insurance, St. Joan of Arc and Del Prado Elementary School.
After volunteering at Boca Helping Hands with their parents, Jett and Luke organized their first cereal drive for BHH in 2016 at their school, Calusa Elementary, when they were just eight years old. The boys have since expanded the program, now called Cereal4All, to many more schools and organizations.
