Friends of Stirs
Here at Stir's, we care deeply about our community. Because of that, we have a 501c3 non-profit called Friends of Stirs. It is through Friends of Stirs that we help those with food insecurities by donating food to organizations who need it. In 2021 alone, Friends of Stirs was able to donate over 11,000 meals to those in need, thanks to the support of our customers. We are able to support multiple charities and organizations in our local community.
No Child should go hungry in a world that has enough to spare
We know that hunger is a devastating problem worldwide.
1 in 9 people are undernourished worldwide.
Hunger rates are increasing the fastest in South America and Africa.
770 million people had severe food insecurity in 2017, meaning they ran out of food and went without eating for an entire day.
A Bowl for you is a Bowl for Them!
Each purchase you make at Stir's, helps us give back to our community. Enjoying a delicious bowl of cereal and milk in our store? A meal is donated. Buying some fun cereal merchandise on our website? Multiple meals donated.
With each online purchase, we will send a card that will let you know how many meals were donated on your behalf with your purchase.

Eating cereal can be such a fun experience. We love giving out cereal to children who don't often get to enjoy a luxury like cereal. But we also want to provide nourishment to children in our community., That's why Friends of Stirs donates cereal along with healthy non-perishable goods, so that everyone can take part in the fun of the Stir's Experience, while also receiving good, healthy meals so they can live their lives without the fear of not having enough to eat.
