I am a Girl Scout leader for my daughter’s Brownie Troop and I thought what a great cause for us to be a part of; the Post Bowls of Hope Champions For Kids SIMPLE SERVICE Project (#PostCFK) to raise awareness and support for hungry kids in our community. When I told the troop about the program they were super excited to be a part of it and to help get cereal and healthy foods to donate to those in need. Did you know that most kids in the community that receive free and reduced lunches do not get support during the summer months? Many times the best and healthiest meals of the day for these kids is at school, and during the summer most of them will not receive that support and go hungry or eat unhealthy foods.
The first step was to go to Walmart because one of the activities for the troop included a “Getting Started ~ Ice Cream Party” which would educate the girls, get them psyched about our food drive, and let them try the different Post cereal options. There were many to choose from, and we bought a bunch! Some for our family, some for charity, and some for our party! The Post Challenge for “Bowls of Hope” asks people to Buy 2 Give 1 to help out the community; buy two for your family and buy one for charity! Every little bit helps! Support your community!

What a Sundae!! OMG that looked like so much fun! You did a great job on the post~
I think it is great that you are helping those girl’s to learn about others who may not be as fortunate–hopefully this knowledge will last a lifetime!!
It’s a good thing to teach them at a young age to help others. The toppings look so yummy. Keep up the good work and let us know if u reached the 100 boxes.
That’s cool! I’m a Girl Guide leader and teaching them how to help those less fortunate is definitely a part of the program. Thanks for sharing about what Post is doing.
What a great project. And yes that sundae looks amazing!
It’s so wonderful to teach kids about giving, and what a fun way to do it! That’s a good idea for sundaes. Probably cheaper than conventional toppings.
Wow Kristen! What an amazing teaching opportunity! Looks like the girls had a blast while helping others. Hope you meet your goal of 100 boxes!
What a great opportunity and great cause they were undertaking! yummy icecream too
