Cereal4All, a teen-led nonprofit founded by Boca Raton twins Jett Justin and Luke Justin, is hosting its annual Spring Cereal Drive in partnership with Boca Helping Hands. The drive aims to collect more than 6,000 pounds of cereal, enough to provide approximately 60,000 bowls of breakfast to local families.

Cereal4All, founded by 18-year-olds Jett and Luke Justin, was created after the brothers observed while volunteering at Boca Helping Hands that breakfast items—particularly cereal—are among the most needed yet least donated goods at food banks. The nonprofit focuses on providing shelf-stable, accessible breakfast options that are especially valuable for families with children.

“My brother and I learned about the breakfast food shortage in 2016 while volunteering in the warehouse at Boca Helping Hands, and it had a major effect on us because, like most young people, we love cereal," Jett Justin. "Cereal is about breakfast, but it’s also about starting the day with a sense of normalcy and happiness.”

Since its founding, Cereal4All has grown well beyond Palm Beach County. The organization now partners with more than 165 schools and 90 food banks across 22 states. To date, the organization has delivered the equivalent of more than 700,000 bowls of cereal.

20 Palm Beach County schools are participating in the local drive to benefit Boca Helping Hands, with support from Whole Foods Market, Wawa, Target, Publix and First Watch. Participating schools are entered into prize drawings featuring gift cards and tickets to professional sporting events.

Community members can donate cereal through any participating school or directly through Boca Helping Hands. For more information, contact Suzan Javizian at suzan@bocahelpinghands.org or 561-417-0913.
