Each year, Methodist Healthcare champions a cereal drive to help reach Rowan Windham's goal of ending childhood hunger.
Before his passing, Rowan Windham hoped to eliminate childhood hunger by collecting boxes upon boxes of cereal from his hospital room. In his honor, Methodist Children's Hospital champions a cereal drive every year to help reach Rowan’s goal.
This year, you can help reach our goal of providing 222,000 servings of cereal. Your monetary donation benefits the San Antonio Food Bank. Every $1 donated equals seven servings of cereal.At age 4, Rowan was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder. He spent more than 1,500 days in the hospital and underwent 100 surgeries.Despite his battle with the disorder, Rowan affected the lives of countless people with his unwavering faith, courage, strength and love.
When Rowan learned of childhood hunger and the cereal drive at Methodist Children’s Hospital, he began asking the public to donate. Rowan’s involvement and passion for the cereal drive made him synonymous with the event. The cereal drive continues today in his honor.KENS would like to send you push notifications about the latest news and weather.
