Merit Health now accepting peanut butter donations for Jars of Love
SUMMARY: Consider donating peanut or other nut butters to Merit Health's Jars of Love effort until March 22nd. Amanda Fenger, Merit Health Communications and Marketing Manager, emphasizes the nutritious and shelf-stable nature of peanut butter that is loved by kids. Despite being one of the most needed items at food banks, it is one of the least donated across the country. Donations can be dropped off at Merit Health's cafeteria or front desk to support the local food bank. This initiative aims to increase the availability of peanut butter for those in need.
Got any extra jars of peanut butter in your pantry? Consider donating them to Merit Health's Jar of Love effort!
