The brainchild of Phil Sargeson of PS Creative graphic design (and previous gold sponsors of WynnumCentral), Cereal For Coffee is an initiative to draw attention to a little known issue often only picked up by teachers – the large number of schoolkids turning up to school hungry.
“One in three schoolchildren are going to school hungry.” says Phil. “How is that acceptable in today’s society, in a first world country?”
Cereal For Coffee aims to help change this. On Tuesday 22nd September eight local cafes are joining together to support the cause. On that day – between 7am and 8am – you will be able to swap a box of cereal for a free cup of coffee. All donations will go to the Wynnum/Manly SU Chaplains, who are in a position to help hungry kids at their respective schools.
The participating cafes are…
- Cambridge Lane Espresso (Manly)
- Cedar & Pine (Wynnum Central)*
- Dramanti’s (Wynnum Central)**
- Frenchies Cafe (Wynnum Central)*
- Jimbo & Co (Wynnum)
- Pelican’s Nest (Wynnum)
- Taste of Aroma (Wynnum Plaza)
- With Relish (Wynnum Central)
*these cafes are members of WynnumCentral
** Dramanti’s will also run the scheme on Monday 21st September
