Richardson, Other North Texas Cities Launch Annual Peanut Butter Drive 

The 10^th annual North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) Peanut Butter Drive begins today, held each year in September in conjunction with Hunger Action Month to benefit local food pantries. Richardson is again participating, along with 11 other cities within the 13 counties that make up NTFB’s service area. Peanut butter is perpetually on food bank lists of most-needed foods, since it’s nutritious, kid-friendly and high in protein. 

This year’s goal is 400,000 pounds of peanut and other nut butters collected both physically, online and through monetary donations. Physical donations may be taken to the North Texas Food Bank, 3677 Mapleshade Ln. in Plano or to any of NTFB’s partner food pantries, including Richardson’s Network of Community Ministries,1500 International Pkwy. (during regular food donation hours) or order the jars through Amazon here.  

Financial donations for the Peanut Butter Drive are being handled through virtual fundraisers headed by a variety of businesses and organizations. To donate financially, click here.
