Boca Teen Twins Collect 3,000 Pounds Of Cereal

For Boca Helping Hands

Cereal4All, which runs an annual cereal drive organized by twin brothers Jett and Luke
Justin, collected nearly 3,000 pounds of cereal from March through May 2021 and donated
it to Boca Helping Hands (BHH). This donation means that Boca Helping Hands will be able
to provide clients with about 18,380 bowls of cereal. The Justins, 13-year-old twin brothers
and Boca Raton residents, attend Don Estridge Middle School.
Breakfast food is one of the least-donated items to food banks across the country. That
means not all kids and families have daily access to breakfast in their home. Like most kids,
cereal is one of Jett and Luke Justin’s favorite foods.
Participants in the drive included Kindness Matters 365, Verde Elementary, Sunrise Park
Elementary, Grandview Preparatory School, FAU Community Service Club, Plastridge
Insurance, St. Joan of Arc and Del Prado Elementary School.
After volunteering at Boca Helping Hands with their parents, Jett and Luke organized
