ARKANSAS, USA — The THV11 Summer Cereal Drive, one of Arkansas’ largest and best-known hunger relief initiatives, is in its 24th year and you can donate through June 27.
About the THV11 Summer Cereal Drive
Each year, THV11 teams up with the Arkansas Foodbank to help feed kids in central Arkansas who would otherwise go without breakfast during summer break. That’s why the THV11 Summer Cereal Drive was started in 2000 by Chief Meteorologist Tom Brannon, the THV11 team, and the Arkansas Foodbank.
Since that time, over 4 million boxes of cereal have been donated thanks to Arkansans like you. And we want your help to make this the best year yet!
“Whether you donate 5, 500, or 5000, I just want you to be a part,” says Tom Brannon.
