Extension offices across Florida will collect peanut butter through the month of October to help feed hungry families in our area

Extension offices across Florida will collect peanut butter through the month of October to help feed hungry families in our area.

 

They call it the Peanut Butter challenge.

 

You can donate unopened jars of peanut butter from October 1st through October 31st.

 

The Extension offices work with the Florida Peanut Producers Association to send the peanut butter to food pantries across the state.

 

Last year, Franklin County donated over 128 pounds of peanut butter, Gulf County collected about 400 pounds of peanut butter, while Wakulla County collected over 1600 pounds.

 

Statewide the annual event collected over 14 tons of peanut butter.

 

Donations will be taken at the University of Florida /IFAS Extension Office, 261 Dr. Frederick S. Humphries Street in Apalachicola, across from Mill Pond.

 

You can also help the fight against hunger by hosting a peanut butter challenge drop-off box at your church, office or home. 

 

The Extension Office will make flyers with your information and send them to you.
