What is the Cereal Drive?
The THV Summer Cereal Drive provides hungry families in Arkansas with non-perishable breakfast items that are both nutritious and kid-friendly. Your donations help provide healthy breakfast options for children and families in central Arkansas who would otherwise go without the most important meal of the day - breakfast.
In addition to individuals donating boxes, businesses can register for a friendly competition!
