Spread The Love: Peanut butter & jelly food drive
Spread The Love: Peanut butter & jelly food drive
 |
What goes better with peanut butter and jelly than a little love? Radio station BEN-FM, ShopRite grocery and PhilAbundance, our region's largest hunger-relief organization, have teamed up this Valentine's Day to collect the makings of the sticky sandwich staple for people in need.
âAlthough something of a staple in many people's cupboards, peanut butter and jelly are two food items rarely donated by the food industry,â says Melanie Jumonville, Philabundance's COO. âWe are excited about the partnering with BEN-FM and Shop Rite on the Spread the Love food drive which will help us meet a great need for delicious and nutritious foods that are protein rich and have community appeal.â
Donors can drop off peanut butter and jelly at three sites across the Delaware Valley:
- Farmer's Market at Suburban Square, Anderson and Coulter Ave., Ardmore, PA
- most stores at the Promenade at Sagemore, 500 Route 73 S # E1, Marlton, NJ
- Philabundance's 3616 S. Galloway Street location in South Philadelphia
ShopRite is expanding the effort into the realm of social media, donating one jar of peanut butter or jelly for every new Facebook fan PhilAbundance acquires between now and February 14; 100 new fans equals an additional 20 cases of peanut butter, while 200 new fans scores PhilAbundance another 20 cases of jelly.
Online donations can be made via Ben FM's Web site or philabundance.org; all the proceeds will go to purchase peanut butter and jelly for people in need.
