Imagine 45,900 bowls of cereal. That’s how much cereal was collected in the
recent Food Fight for Gleaners at the Birmingham schools. All eight elementary schools, Covington and
Wee Care participated in this fun contest this year.
In May, students and staff were encouraged to bring in boxes
of cereal. A total of 3060 boxes of
cereal were collected by the ten schools combined. And thanks to a matching program by PNC Bank,
the donation to Gleaners will go even farther in feeding hungry neighbors.
Beverly School won bragging rights with 420 boxes of cereal
collected (more than 1 box/student!), but the real winner of this beneficial
battle is Gleaners Food Bank, whose shelves are now stocked with cereal for the
summer months.
