Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center and Twin Cities Community Hospital are pleased to announce that both hospitals together donated more than 6,000 servings of cereal and $3,200 to the Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo County, a member of the Feeding America network, during its Healthy Over Hungry Cereal Drive, which ran from June 1-8, 2018.
The donations collected will help provide local children and adults struggling with hunger with a healthy breakfast during the summer. Good nutrition is essential to good health, and summer is a particularly tough time for many food-insecure families because children can no longer rely on schools for nutritious meals, putting an added burden on these families.
Sierra Vista and Twin Cities are proud to help lead the fight against hunger. We are grateful for the support of our staff and community in this effort.
