Cereal4All, which runs an annual cereal drive organized
by twin brothers Jett and Luke Justin, collected nearly 65,000
bowls of cereal during its annual cereal drive this spring and
donated it to Boca Helping Hands (BHH). This donation
means that Boca Helping Hands will be able to provide
clients with 6,418 boxes of cereal. The Justins, 15-year-old
twin brothers and Boca Raton residents, attend American
Heritage School in Delray Beach.
This year, the Justin brothers expanded their
organization nationally to have schools in Connecticut,
Arizona, New York, Nevada, Washington, and California
organize Cereal4All cereal drives to benefit local food
banks in those areas. Across the United States, Cereal4All
drives collected 10,127 boxes of cereal.
