WRAL: Wake County students fight summer hunger with cereal box domino demo
As summer break looms, many Wake County children face the challenge of food insecurity, but Dillard Drive Magnet Elementary School students are tackling the issue with an innovative cereal box drive.
Thousands of Wake County kids are heading into summer break without a guaranteed hot breakfast and lunch, but Dillard Drive Magnet Elementary School is hoping to change that with the solution of hundreds of cereal boxes.
Global Studies teacher Kristen Terry encouraged her students to start a school-wide effort to collect cereal boxes. They then lined up the collection for a toppling domino chain.

As the gap closed from box to box in the domino chain of cereal boxes at Dillard Drive Magnet Elementary, Urban Ministries’ pantries got more full, and students learned how an act of kindness can make a big impact.
“We are putting other people first because we are giving them food to eat at home,” Briana Adebioui, a student in Terry’s Global Studies class, said.
Urban Ministries of Wake County welcomes monetary and food donations as well as volunteers.
