Northwest Healthcare Donates 2,013 Jars of Peanut Butter Thanks to Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive
3/29/2023
TUCSON, AZ (March 28, 2023) – To help address hunger in our community, and in celebration of National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day on April 2, Northwest Healthcare is donating 2,013 jars (equaling over 50,000 ounces!) of peanut butter and other healthy nut butters to the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.
Each and every jar was graciously donated by our employees, medical staff members, and volunteers during the recent Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive at all four Northwest Healthcare hospitals.
Peanut butter is one of the most requested items for food banks because it is highly nutritious and has a long shelf life. However, many American food banks report that it is one of the least donated food items.
“We know how much good nutrition impacts our overall health and well-being,” said Brian Sinotte, market CEO of Northwest Healthcare. “Through the Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive, we are working to help fight hunger in the Tucson area. Our generous employees and volunteers really stepped up to make sure we could stock the shelves for our friends and neighbors.”
