In a heartening move to support local families, North Little Rock Mayor Terry Hartwick officially proclaimed June 2, 2026, as ‘Summer Cereal Drive Day.’ This announcement was made during the THV11 Summer Cereal Drive event held at Edwards Food Giant in North Little Rock.
A Community Initiative
For 26 years, the THV11 Summer Cereal Drive has been a staple in central and south Arkansas, rallying teams to collect cereal for families facing hardships, particularly benefiting children during the summer months when school-provided meals are unavailable. This year, the drive spans over 10 locations, beginning in Cabot and concluding in Little Rock.
Mayor Hartwick, standing alongside THV11’s Jurnee Taylor, emphasized the importance of community support and collaboration in addressing food insecurity. The proclamation of ‘Summer Cereal Drive Day’ highlights the city’s commitment to aiding its residents and fostering a spirit of giving.
How to Participate
Residents are encouraged to participate in the drive by donating cereal at designated locations. For those interested in contributing, a complete list of donation sites and additional ways to support the initiative can be found on the THV11 website.
This initiative not only provides essential nutrition to families in need but also strengthens community bonds, reflecting the values of faith and family that are central to the community’s ethos.
