Hands (BHH). Cereal 4 All was founded by 18-year-old Boca Raton twins Jett Justin and Luke Justin. Their annual Spring Cereal Drive collected 11,079 pounds of cereal for underserved families.
Starting as a modest soup kitchen in 1998, Boca Helping Hands 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 freshmen at the University of Florida, 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.”
“Part of our mission is to also get more young people active in the fight against hunger, and cereal has a special way of doing that,” said Luke Justin. “The connection students have with cereal makes the empty bowls of others feel personal and motivates them to get involved.”
Today, Cereal4All partners with more than 175 schools and 95 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 800,000 bowls of cereal, over $400,000 worth of breakfast food, while inspiring thousands of students to volunteer in the fight against hunger.
This spring, 20 Palm Beach County schools participated 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 were 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.
