We Broke a Guinness World Record!

by | Sep 18, 2018 | In the News

Meals of Hope broke a Guinness World Record for the “most cereal boxes toppled in a domino fashion” by knocking over 3,913 boxes on Saturday, September 1, at Grow Church in Naples. The event kicked off our September Hunger Action Month activities.

The 3,913 number was shy of the 4,000 target – a significant number as it represents the number of families Meals of Hope serves at its food pantries each month.

Under the supervision of the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, at-risk children helped arrange the boxes as a community service project. After the event, the cereal was distributed to all Meals of Hope food pantries.

The record was held by students and staff at H. Frank Carey High School in New York, who knocked over 3,416 boxes. Prior to that, the record was held by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
