Making A Difference With Champions For Kids and Post Bowls Of Hope Simple Service Project

~Posted by Patricia


I am so proud to be participating once again with Champions For Kids and the Post Bowls For Hope Simple Service Project this month.

This wonderful project is all about supplementing local food banks and other helping organizations with breakfast and lunch items for low-income children. During the summer months, 5 of 6 children who have access to local food programs during the other months of the year, lose that access during the summer. This means that millions of children go without breakfasts and lunches because their families may have difficulty providing these meals for them.

Post Cereal teamed up with Champions For Kids to help fight childhood hunger, and to help provide the breakfasts that children need to be and stay healthy. Did you know that 5.6 million Americans seek out food from food banks or other resources? I didn't know this until I read about these important facts while participating in this project.

My Post brand cereal to donate #PostCFK

I went shopping at my local Walmart for Post Cereals to donate. The Post Bowls of Hope project is encouraging everyone to host a food drive in whatever way is possible to collect food for donation. I am having a small food drive with my family, and we will donate our items to my local food bank.

I had intended to invite my family over for dinner for my food drive, but a serious medical emergency in my family prevented that from happening. Instead, I asked them to drop off their donations when they could. I was happy that we were able to collect breakfast items that are so badly needed, especially cereal.

I took my 5 year-old grandson with me to make my donation. I feel it's very important for him to understand that we need to help others when we can. He does understand what "donate" means, and he loves helping me out. My grandson thought it was very important that other kids have their cereal to eat in the mornings just like he does. This guy loves his cereal!

I'm making my donation to the Kingston Food Bank. We have donated here before and I just love it's director and wonderful volunteers that help so many others in the community. #PostCFK

I am so happy to be working with Champions for Kids and Post Cereals to help children in need.

Champions for Kids Post Bowls of Hope Simple Service Project.

~by Patricia

I am proud to be participating in the June Post Bowls of Hope Simple Service Project with Champions for Kids. During the summer months, millions of low-income children go without school breakfasts and lunches, and their families may have difficulty providing these meals.

The goal of this project is to supplement local food banks with breakfast and lunch items that families with children can use and receive. Post Cereal has partnered with Champions for Kids for this very important need.

I went shopping at my local Walmart to buy Post Cereals to donate to my local food bank. I will be having a family food drive and asking them to bring food donations when they come over for dinner. Giving to others in our community is very important, and teaches the younger children in our family to help others.

Post makes many different kinds of cereals that are part of a healthy breakfast. I thought this service project was a great idea, and the thought of providing children with a good breakfast to start their day really motivated me to participate.

I am hoping to collect donations like peanut butter and other things that kids like and are easy to make. Parents must often stretch already limited food budgets during the summer months when school is closed and their children cannot eat breakfast or lunch at school.

Fresh fruits are always welcomed at the food bank, and are great for a healthy snack. Bananas are also good to put on a child's cereal to increase it's nutritional value. Post makes lots of cereals that are both delicious and good for you.

Milk and other dairy products are very important items at the food bank. I love donating yogurt because it's something most kids like eating.

I will be donating to the Kingston Food Bank. They are in my community and it's director and volunteers tirelessly work to help out local families. I can't wait to make my donation here and help other families with children who need it.

I am very happy to be working again with Champions for Kids, and love being a part of helping others.
Thanks to Post Cereals for this project.
