Los Al Medical hosts “Cereal Drive” for hungry children

The team over at Los Alamitos Medical Center just ran a weeklong cereal drive to provide area children and adults struggling with hunger with a healthy breakfast during the summer months through its Healthy Over Hungry® Cereal Drive benefitting Summer Harvest Food Bank.

LAMC nurses Hannah Matthews, Jessica Seckington and Kirsten Mesipam make a donation. Many households rely on schools, food banks and other food programs to have access to the healthy meals they need to thrive. We recognize the importance of beginning each day with a nutritious breakfast and, through this drive, hope to help many in our community struggling with food insecurity. The team collected more than 2000 servings of cereal to share with the community!

“The donations we collected during our ‘Healthy Over Hungry® Cereal Drive’ will help provide local children and adults struggling with hunger with a healthy breakfast during the summer. I am grateful for the support of our staff in this effort,” said Kent Clayton, chief executive officer of Los Alamitos Medical Center. Good nutrition is essential to good health, and we want to help lead the fight against hunger in Los Alamitos.
