Tenet Health Central Coast announced Tuesday that it has donated $2,939 to the SLO Food Bank after its week-long Healthy Over Hungry Virtual Cereal Drive, a donation that equals about 20,579 meals for families in need.
The drive was virtual this year due to the pandemic, with monetary donations being requested instead of cereal boxes. According to Tenet Health, these monetary donations are particularly helpful because they allow the food bank to feed a family of four for two days with the same amount of money it would cost, on average, to buy a single box of cereal.

Only monetary donations are requested this year instead of cereal boxes
–Tenet Health Central Coast is leading a community effort to provide area children and adults struggling with hunger with healthy nutrition during the summer months through its Healthy Over Hungry Virtual Cereal Drive benefitting the SLO Food Bank. The drive kicked off today, Monday, June 7, and runs through Monday, June 14.
Importantly, due to the pandemic, this year the drive is virtual: only monetary donations are requested instead of cereal boxes and this has a tremendous impact: by donating the average cost of a box of cereal, the SLO Food Bank can feed a family of four for two days.
