Community Care Pop-UP: “Grateful Grains”

MIDDLE GROVE — Youth2 – Youth Helping Youth – is hosting their 9th Community Care Pop-UP, “Grateful Grains" cereal food drive. Donate a box of cereal to families in need on Saturday, Nov. 20 from 12-2 p.m. at Camp Stomping Ground, 3430 Boyhaven Rd, Middle Grove. 

All donations will be distributed to food pantries in Saratoga Springs, Ballston Spa, Clifton Park and Hadley-Luzerne. At the end of the collection drive, the cereal boxes will be lined up for the “domino effect” finale. 

Youth2's “Grateful Grains" Pop-UP will help provide families with food over the Thanksgiving break that rely on school meals  for their school-aged children. Get your whole family involved by having your kids pick out their favorite cereal to bring to other kids in need. Youth2 will also be donating boxed milk to accompany the collected cereal.

The event location, Camp Stomping Ground, is located in Middle Grove on 70 acres of wild land. Youth2 appreciates the generosity of Camp Stomping Ground who has given them the COVID-safe-space to host this November Community Care Pop-UP. 

Camp Stomping Ground’s mission is to inspire the next generation of radically empathetic decision makers. Founded in 2015, Stomping Ground is an independent non-profit overnight summer camp. Additional supporters for the Community Care Pop-UP include Stewart’s Shops.

Youth2 is an organization based in Saratoga County made up of both youth and adults working together to improve the lives of people around the world. Youth2 provides financial support and guidance to youth and helps them turn their social action ideas into an impactful reality, both locally and globally.
