Community Comes Together to Help Local Kids Through Cereal for Summer 

Taking Care of Kids Today

At Cool Today, our mission is simple: Help People Get the Best from Today

Sometimes that means keeping families comfortable in their homes. Other times, it means coming together as a community to help meet a need that extends far beyond heating, cooling, plumbing, or electrical service. 

For the third year, Cool Today was proud to participate in the annual Cereal for Summer Drive, partnering with 10 Tampa Bay, Feeding Tampa Bay, General Mills, and members of our community to help provide breakfast items for local children during the summer months. 

Why Cereal for Summer Matters 

For many children throughout the Tampa Bay area, school breakfast and lunch programs provide a reliable source of daily nutrition during the school year. When summer arrives and school is out, many families face an increased challenge in keeping healthy food on the table. 

That's where the Cereal for Summer Drive steps in. 

The annual community initiative collects cereal, oatmeal, granola bars, protein bars, and other breakfast essentials to help bridge the gap and ensure local children have access to nutritious meals when school is not in session. 

The Power of Partnership 

Community impact doesn't happen alone. 

This year's drive brought together organizations across Tampa Bay, each playing an important role in supporting local families: 

  • Feeding Tampa Bay, working every day to combat food insecurity throughout our region. 
  • 10 Tampa Bay, helping raise awareness and encourage community participation. 
  • General Mills and other sponsors, providing support for the effort. 
  • Local businesses, including Cool Today, committed to giving back. 
  • Community members who donated food, resources, and support. 

When businesses, nonprofits, media partners, and residents unite behind a common purpose, the results can be truly meaningful. 

How Cool Today Participated 

As part of our Taking Care of Kids Today initiative, Cool Today pledged to donate a box of cereal for every air conditioning maintenance appointment scheduled during the campaign. 

What started as a simple service appointment became an opportunity for homeowners to make a difference in the lives of local children. 

Thanks to the participation of our customers and team members, Cool Today contributed: 

4,000 Boxes of Cereal Donated 

Together, those donations will help support children and families throughout the Tampa Bay area during the summer months. 

More Than a Donation 

While we're proud of the number of boxes collected, the true impact goes beyond any single statistic. 

The Cereal for Summer Drive reflects what makes the Tampa Bay community special: people helping people. 

Every box donated represents a family that chose to participate. Every partnership represents organizations working toward a shared goal. Every contribution helps create a stronger, healthier community for local children. 

At Cool Today, we believe that serving our community means more than providing exceptional home services. It means showing up, giving back, and investing in the people and neighborhoods we call home.
