Annual Peanut Butter Brigade
Successful Peanut Butter Drive
The annual Peanut Butter drive conducted by members of the Port St. Lucie Sunset Rotary was a huge success, thanks to the community support! A whopping 786 jars of peanut butter were collected during the month of April. This was the single largest donation of peanut butter that Grace Packs has ever received for food insecure students in our schools.
Special thanks for participating and donating jars of peanut butter go to the communities of Bedford Park, Heritage Oaks, PGA, and Vitalia. Business support came from Lakeview Bar & Grille, Brass Money Sports Bar & Grill, Meating Street Steak & Seafood, Sprockets Adventures and Illuminate Health Services.
Some 955 students from 30 schools are receiving Grace Packs at the end of each school week making sure they have food to eat over the weekend. Packs include breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack items, and peanut butter jars.
