Bluffton Regional Medical Center invites community members to join staff efforts to fight hunger by participating in the second annual Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive benefiting the Wells County Food Bank. Peanut butter is a sought after item for food banks because of its high nutritional value and long shelf life. Yet, it is one of the least donated items. The Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive runs now through Monday, March 25.
“We recognize the impact hunger has on an individual’s health and wellbeing, and we want to help those in our community who are struggling with food insecurity,” said Julie Thompson, CAO at Bluffton Regional Medical Center. “An estimated 95,000 people are facing food insecurity in Northeast Indiana. The Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive is a great way to partner with community members to reduce hunger in our area.”
Collection bins will be located in the hospital main entrance for community members to drop off peanut butter through March 25.
