–Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center and Twin Cities Community Hospital recently announced that both hospitals together donated 5,000 servings of cereal and nearly $500 to the Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo County, a member of the Feeding America network, during their Healthy Over Hungry Cereal Drive, which ran from June 7-14, 2019.

The donations collected will help provide local children and adults struggling with hunger with a healthy breakfast during the summer. Good nutrition is essential to good health, and summer is a particularly tough time for many food-insecure families because children can no longer rely on schools for nutritious meals, putting an added burden on these families.
