The Cereal Squad
How It All Started
We decided to start this organization during the Corona Virus pandemic. We heard about a lot of families that were out of work and having a hard time putting food on the table. Parents were getting sick and couldn't go to work or food shopping. We were kids trying to help kids, but it became more than that, we became kids helping families and communities. We helped hundred of families across Long Island. It stared as just cereal but as the pandemic continued to get worse it became more. Families started running out of baby food and diapers and just every day household essentials. Donations were being dropped off at our house and money was being Venmoed for us to purchase essentials for families in need. Our days and nights for the next few months where doing Zoom for school and buying cereal and essentials and discreetly delivering the items to the local families. Saturdays and Sundays we would go from food store to food store searching for the best bargains on cereal so we could cover all the families for the week. Every box had a hand written note on it from us telling the families to stay positive and everything is going to be ok. It really felt good to be able to help families in such a crazy time.
Make A Donation
It has really opened our eyes since Covid that there will always be people in need, whether its a pandemic a fire or health issues, The Cereal Squad will always be here to help. We are still helping families, on the weekend and in between school work we do fundraising. We try to raise whatever money we can, but we can always use help.
