Drop Off Boxes Of Cereal For Sheriff's Cereal For Summer Campaign

POLK COUNTY, FL — The Polk County Sheriff's Office is once again participating in the Feeding Tampa Bay's "Cereal for Summer" campaign, sponsored by 10 Tampa Bay and Feeding Tampa Bay.

Many children from financially challenged families face hunger over the summer when they are not guaranteed free or reduced-cost meals that they usually receive at school.

Those who wish to donate boxes of cereal can drop them off at the Polk County Sheriff's main office in Bartow or any of the district offices and jails. Each office has a large collection box.

Last year, the Polk sheriff's office donated more boxes of cereal than any other organization, except one. This year, Sheriff Grady Judd, is counting on being No. 1.

The event is sponsored by General Mills and the Dairy Council of Florida.
