The West Texas Food Bank has launched an Elementary School Cereal Drive. This effort is part of Hunger Action Month and involves partnering with schools across the Permian Basin. Students from several schools are participating, including Compass Academy and Midland Christian School, to collect unopened and unexpired cereal boxes.
The food bank aims to collect breakfast items and raise awareness among students about the impact of their donations. Cereal is a valuable item due to its shelf stability and ease of distribution.
Further details about the drive and its goals are available from the West Texas Food Bank.
