Today, the Manchester Township School District Junior Impact and Impact Clubs not only came together with the Lakehurst-Manchester Rotary Club for their monthly meeting but to also celebrate the conclusion of their district and townwide Cereal War initiative.
At the beginning of February, the school district's Junior Impact and Impact Clubs called to action their schools and the surrounding community. Their mission was to collect hundreds, if not thousands, of cereal boxes for donation to the Joel E. Perlmutter Memorial Food Pantry @The Barn in Whiting, NJ.
After their monthly Rotary Club Breakfast at Manchester Township High School, students boarded the school bus to make a few stops around town to the schools and those local businesses that were also supporting the cereal collection food drive. Then students and staff unloaded the donated cereal boxes @TheBarn to help support their initiative to provide support for those experiencing food insecurity in our area.
Per their website, @TheBarn shares that they are dedicated to making a meaningful difference in our community. Their establishment contributes directly to Inspire-NJ's mission of supporting local families in need by providing nourishment and essential resources. Through our collective efforts, all proceeds generated @The Barn are compassionately directed to Inspire-NJ, helping to feed and assist families facing hardships within our local area. Today's cereal donation supports this community mission.
Congratulations and thank you to our Junior Impact and Impact Club students for the success of this Cereal War donation initiative! You have garnered such strong support from our school and surrounding communities living out our district motto "Excellence by Example!" Thank you to our school community and the Lakehurst-Manchester Rotary Club for your support of our students and this fundraising effort. We look forward to seeing what they accomplish next!
