Boca Helping Hands Partners with Cereal4All

Jett Justin and Luke Justin

(Press Release) Boca Raton, FL (March 9, 2026) — Inspired by the nostalgic comfort of a hearty bowl of a childhood breakfast favorite, teen-led nonprofit Cereal4All is rallying the community once again to support the mission of Boca Helping Hands (BHH). Founded by 18 year old Boca Raton twins Jett Justin and Luke Justin, the annual Spring Cereal Drive aims to collect more than 6,000 pounds of cereal, enough to provide approximately 60,000 bowls of breakfast to local families served by BHH.

Founded as a modest soup kitchen in 1998, BHH provided more than 3.5 million meals to people in need in 2025. The organization focuses on giving a “hand up” to those who are trying to make ends meet, providing stability and reassurance about where their next meal will come from.

Few foods support that mission more than a hearty bowl of cereal. Through its five distribution centers, BHH provides pantry bags filled with groceries to families living at or below the poverty level, and cereal is a perfect item to help fill those bags. Cereal4All was founded by the Justin brothers, now seniors at American Heritage School, after they discovered while volunteering at BHH that breakfast foods are among the most needed, yet least donated, items at food banks. 

“My brother and I learned about the breakfast food shortage in 2016 while volunteering in the warehouse at Boca Helping Hands, and it had a major effect on us because, like most young people, we love cereal,” said Jett Justin. “Cereal is about breakfast, but it’s also about starting the day with a sense of normalcy and happiness. It bothered us that so many families were missing out on that, so we started Cereal4All to help fill that gap.” 

Today, Cereal4All partners with more than 165 schools and 90 food banks across 22 states, as well as Toronto and the Bahamas through the twins’ self-piloted “Oatmeal Airlift” missions. The organization has delivered the equivalent of more than 700,000 bowls of cereal, over $300,000 worth of breakfast food, while inspiring thousands of students to volunteer in the fight against hunger. 

This spring, 20 Palm Beach County schools are participating in the drive to benefit BHH, with support from local partners including Whole Foods Market, Wawa, Target, Publix, and First Watch. To boost involvement, schools will be entered into prize drawings featuring gift cards and tickets donated by popular South Florida organizations, including the Miami Marlins, Topgolf, Xtreme Action Park, and the Florida Panthers. Community members interested in supporting the drive can donate boxes of cereal through participating schools or contact BHH directly.
