      Boca Teen Twins Collected Nearly 65,000 Bowls Of Cereal



      For Boca Helping Hands During Annual Cereal Drive



         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.

      with  several  businesses. Target  donated  gift  cards  to
