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.
