ShorePoint Health Hosts Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive To Fight Hunger
3/5/2024
Port Charlotte, Florida – ShorePoint Health invites community members to join the hospital's efforts to fight hunger by participating in the second annual Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive benefiting the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition. 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 kicks off on March 5 and will run through 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 Andy Romine, CEO of ShorePoint Health“ An estimated 13% of people in Charlotte County are facing food insecurity. Our Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive is a great way to partner with community members to reduce hunger in our area.”
Anyone interested in donating peanut or other nut butters to this drive are asked to drop off their donation in the collection boxes located in the administration offices in ShorePoint Health Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda.
