A huge THANK YOU to the amazing students, families, and staff at Stowers Elementary School for donating 300 boxes of cereal to help stock the shelves at Seeds of Hope!
That incredible donation will help support families who rely on our weekly food distributions – and it reminded us how powerful community giving can be when people come together for a simple goal.
The best part?
A food drive like this is EASY for schools, businesses, churches, clubs, gyms, dance studios, sports teams, neighborhoods, and local organizations to organize!
