Cereal for Coffee
Cereal for Coffee has successfully supported school-based breakfast clubs since 2016. Commencing in Brisbane, we have expanded to cover south-east Queensland and northern NSW, with a view to establishing a national presence. Cereal for Coffee caters for students from all socio-economic backgrounds and does not charge fees. Schools and other organisations that support the underprivileged fundraise for the breakfast clubs and are supported by Cereal for Coffee to ensure they have sufficient breakfast food and appliances to be able to meet their local demand. Donations, events and fundraising activities are supported through a network of sponsors.
