Feeding Those That Need Our Help
Peanut butter is a perfect shelf stable source of protein that food banks provide as a staple that provides high protein.
In response to the overwhelming demand on food banks during the COVID-19 pandemic, we donated 755,000 pounds of peanut butter and assorted snack products in our most recent fiscal year to food banks in the communities where we operate.
In addition to product donations, we work with Feeding America procurement to provide reduced price peanut butter to member organizations. In Fiscal 2021 we worked with Feeding America to provide over 2 million pounds of peanut butter at a reduced cost to member organizations.
We have ongoing partnerships with local food banks. From time to time, we have overstock on assorted snack products and we donate all excess inventory.
