This time last year, people in the Tampa Bay region were collecting Cereal for Summer. Spearheaded by 10 Tampa Bay, the drive produced 140,000 boxes for Feeding Tampa Bay, which were distributed to area foodbanks.
This year, COVID-19 is forcing a change to a virtual cereal drive. The method for collecting cereal may have changed this year, but the need has not. In fact, with kids already learning from home, the need for food is greater than ever.
Residents of South Pasadena, government officials, and firefighters have supported Cereal for Summer in a big way for the past several years. Please help hungry kids again this year.
To donate, go to www.CerealForSummer.com. Your monetary donation to Feeding Tampa Bay will go to buy cereal at a greatly reduced cost– magnifying your effort.
And keep tuned to 10 Tampa Bay. From May 18- 31, the CBS station will continue to bring you stories about why this cereal drive is needed and how the Tampa Bay Community is stepping up to help hungry kids.
