Generous Donations Fuel Peanut Butter Distribution for Communities in Need
The peanut industry has once again come together to provide vital support, ensuring that families in need have access to nutritious peanut butter. Thanks to the generous donations from key industry partners, over 138,000 jars of peanut butter has been distributed to a variety of organizations across the Southeast, including food banks, ministries as part of hurricane relief efforts.
This tremendous effort was made possible by the support of the Texas Peanut Producers, the American Peanut Council, the American Peanut Shellers, the National Peanut Buying Point Association, the American Peanut Growers Group, the Peanut Proud Festival, the Georgia Peanut Commission, Collins McNeill, the Western Peanut Growers, the Alabama Peanut Producers, the American Peanut Marketing Association, the North Carolina Peanut Producers, the Virginia Peanut Growers, and the South Carolina Peanut Board.
Pallets of peanut butter have been delivered to partners such as Feeding Northeast Florida, 2nd Harvest of South Georgia, 2nd Harvest of Metrolina, Bread of the Mighty Food Bank, and Peanut Butter and Jesus Ministries. These donations are helping to bring relief to families facing food insecurity because of Hurricanes Helene & Milton.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of these donors, we’re continuing our mission to bring peanut butter to those who need it most. Your contributions are making a real difference, and we are deeply grateful for your ongoing support.
