The Yorktown Lions’ annual cereal drive is collecting boxes of breakfast food for a local pantry.
The drive runs through February 28, and collection sites are located at Town Hall and the John C. Hart Memorial Library.
“Yorktown is a community built on the strength of our neighbors, and there is no greater reflection of that spirit than the Yorktown Lions’ annual cereal drive,” said Supervisor Ed Lachterman, a former president and member of the Yorktown Lions. “For many of us, a box of cereal is a simple pantry staple, but for a family struggling with food insecurity, it represents the dignity of a reliable meal and a healthy start to the day for their children.”
National Cereal Day is March 7. According to Zippia.com, the most popular cereal brands are:
- Cheerios
- Frosted Flakes
- Honey Nut Cheerios
- Honey Bunches of Oats
- Cinnamon Toast Crunch
- Froot Loops
- Lucky Charms
