UAMS is a registered team in the 2023 Summer Cereal Drive! We will be collecting donations until June 26 and tracking them by department for a fun internal competition! (Donate and then find your department contact below)
What is the Arkansas Foodbanks Annual Summer Cereal Drive?
The summer months present families that are already facing hunger with unique challenges. Without access to meals they would typically receive at school, children may not receive nutritious foods important for healthy development. The pandemic has also had a devastating effect on families who were already facing hunger, and more Arkansans than ever before are relying on the Foodbank and its partner pantries. In result – the need for food assistance is still great, and we know it’s going to take a while for these neighbors to get back on their feet.
Help us provide the most important meal of the day to children and families experiencing hunger in central and southern Arkansas by donating to the Summer Cereal Drive! You can help by making a cash donation – every $1 provides a box of cereal.
The UAMS Summer Cereal Drive runs from now until June 26, 2023.
How can you help?
Donate online using the Team UAMS donation page! This is most safe and effective way to help us reach those in need this summer. For every $1 donated, the Foodbank can provide a box of cereal.
Your support will help families in your community and across the state. To learn more about the Arkansas Foodbank, visit their website here.
How do I help my team “compete” for the grand prize?
The UAMS Good Neighbor Committee would like to encourage your participation by offering a team prize for the UAMS department that raises the most money and/or collects the most cereal! Coordinate with your department contact to make sure your team gets to claim your donation as part of their total donation!
