Annual Cereal Drive

ANNUAL CEREAL DRIVE

What is it and why I continue to do it

My name is Mia Cahill and I'm now a freshman at SMHS. I've done the cereal drive since I was in 3rd grade at SCES. This will be my 7th year doing the cereal drive at Sunapee Elementary School, I've always believed that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and everyone deserves the chance to eat breakfast, with that being said, each year around Halloween, kids and staff at the Elementary School bring in boxes of cereal that are all donated to the Sunapee food pantry, every year we have filled the towns food pantry and the rest goes to surrounding towns to help fill their food pantry.

Where to drop it off

This year I'm hoping to also involve the town as a whole. If you have a kiddo at the elementary school, you can send them to school with the boxes and they will be able to bring them in that way! If not, there will be places to bring cereal in at the Sunapee Safety Service Building (Police Station) or at the Sunapee Town Hall.

How it happens

Each year on the last school day before Halloween, which this year will be Friday October 28th, all the elementary kids will walk throughout the school, as their Halloween parade and bring out all the cereal collected into police trucks, and from there the Police Department will bring all of the cereal boxes to the food pantry
