Drive collects 4.5 million servings of cereal
to benefit more than 100 local food banks and nonprofits
Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC) today announced the
results for its 2019 Healthy Over Hungry® Cereal Drive. The Cereal
Drive works to help those struggling with hunger and to promote the
importance of eating a healthy breakfast, especially for children
who lose access to school-based nutrition programs during the
summer months.
The 2019 Cereal Drive took place from June 7 to June 14 across
Tenet’s acute care hospitals, outpatient centers, call centers and
corporate offices, as well as with non-Tenet participating
hospitals and companies. In addition, General Mills, a leading
global food company, donated over 1,400 boxes of cereal to Tenet in
support of the families it serves in communities around the
country. The donation includes cereal from several different
General Mills’ cereal brands, such as Honey Nut Cheerios, Wheaties
and Chex.
This year’s Cereal Drive resulted in the collection of more than
4.5 million servings of cereal, benefitting more than 100 local
food banks and not-for-profit pantries in communities served by
participating facilities.
Ron Rittenmeyer, Executive Chairman and CEO of Tenet, said,
“Every day, our caregivers and supporting colleagues work hard to
improve the health and well-being of our neighbors and ultimately
save lives, and we are deeply grateful for their efforts. We are
inspired by their compassion and energized by their unfaltering
commitment to not only fight hunger, but support numerous
initiatives to foster healthier communities. We also want to thank
General Mills and other supporting community partners for rallying
behind this very important initiative.”
Scott Baldwin, Director of Marketing at General Mills, said, “We
are thrilled to take part in this special program to fight hunger
in our communities, and we applaud Tenet for championing this
effort. This is a cause that is very important to us as an
organization as we aim to build strong, resilient and sustainable
communities. We look forward to continuing to lend our support to
like-minded organizations like Tenet who share our commitment to
helping those in need.”
The Cereal Drive was launched in Detroit in 2010 by Pam
Taurence, a nurse at Detroit Medical Center’s Children’s Hospital
of Michigan, and the DMC Professional Nurse Council. Tenet expanded
the drive nationally in 2014 after Detroit Medical Center became
part of the Tenet system. Since 2014, more than 19 million servings
of cereal and approximately $1,165,000 have been donated to benefit
thousands of children and others struggling with the effects of
hunger.
