It's Peanut Butter 'N' July in Charlotte, North Carolina and throughout Mecklenburg County! We've all heard about Christmas in July and who hasn't heard of Peanut Butter & Jelly, so if you're wondering what Peanut Butter 'N' July is all about ... here's the scoop:
WBT 1110 Talk Radio and Harris Teeter Grocery Stores in Mecklenburg County team up annually with WBT radio to help benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. This is the sixth consecutive year for this drive for contributions of peanut butter to help children in the Charlotte area from going hungry. Because Charlotte is such an affluent city overall, it's easy to forget that we have children hungry here, as well. And because there are no school lunches provided in the summer months, many more children go hungry during these months in the Charlotte area than most of us realize.
Did you know that because peanut butter is protein-rich and has a long shelf life, it's one of the most requested and most valuable commodities in a food bank? Through July 31st, you'll find bins set up at Harris Teeter store entrances in Mecklenburg County where you can donate jars of peanut butter. It's so easy and such a "small" donation in terms of monetary outlay. Why not make a point of buying a jar or two or even three of peanute butter from your local Harris Teeter store and putting them in one of the bins at the stores' entrances? No child should go hungry and this is one easy way to make sure fewer children in Charlotte do so.
More than 4,800 pounds of peanut butter have been donated in prior years, representing some 5,000 jars. I've already dropped off my dozen jars at my local Harris Teeter store. More to come... I make a point to pick up a couple of jars at each weekly grocery shopping trip and putting them in the bins on my way out. So easy...
It's so inexpensive and so simple to support this food drive and help hungry Charlotte kids... please donate generously this year to Peanut Butter 'N' July.
