Carondelet hospitals are hosting a month-long cereal drive.
The "Healthy over Hungry" drive aims to provide families healthy breakfast options for their kids over summer vacation.
Whole-grain cereal is a healthy option for kids, and it can help keep them feeling full until later in the day.
Anyone who wants to donate can drop off healthy, whole-grain cereals at 3 Carondelet locations:

“We appreciate the Carondelet Health Network for hosting the Healthy Over Hungry® Cereal Drive and are grateful for its commitment to building a healthy community,” said Michael McDonald, CEO of the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona. “Summer is a particularly difficult time because many children in need can no longer rely on their school meals for a nutritious breakfast, so their families often turn to us for help. Thanks to Carondelet and the Healthy Over Hungry Cereal Drive, many families will have a healthy, whole-grain cereal breakfast every morning this summer.”
Cash donations can be made to the community food bank.
Carondelet will match all cash donations made during the campaign, up to $100,000.
