Peanut butter donated at City facilities last month was collected this week and delivered to Network of Community Ministries. The donations were part of the North Texas Food Bank’s (NTFB) annual Peanut Butter Drive held every September.
Thanks to everyone who contributed during the drive, including Girl Scout Troop 5832, who dropped off 70 jars of peanut butter this week at City Hall.
Peanut butter is perpetually on food bank lists of most-needed foods, since it’s nutritious, kid-friendly and high in protein. Local donations may be taken directly to Network of Community Ministries, which operates a Mobile Food Pantry and other food programs and is a recipient of the drive.
City staff will be following up with Network next week to get a final tally of how many pounds of peanut butter were donated at city facilities.
