Scare Away Hunger Peanut Butter Drive

Thank you for participating in this year’s Scare Away Hunger Peanut Butter Drive!

During the month of October, businesses and organizations across the North County region are coming together to help Scare Away Hunger by collecting jars of peanut butter for local children and families in need.

Why Peanut Butter?

Peanut butter is an excellent source of protein for children and families. It’s popular with kids, shelf-stable and one jar can provide more than 12 sandwiches.

Peanut butter is very expensive for the Food Bank to purchase. That’s why this year’s peanut butter food drive will be instrumental in helping stock the Food Bank’s shelves with this nutrient-rich superfood for local families in need.

Who benefits from the donations?

Did you know? 1 in 5 children faces food insecurity in North County. All donations will be distributed to North County families in need through the Food Bank’s direct food distributions and through our nonprofit partners’ hunger relief programs.
