Protein to feed a family: It’s time for the annual Peanut Butter Challenge

Spread the word – or in this case, the peanut butter! The 14th annual Peanut Butter Challenge gives people across the state a chance to donate jars of the protein-packed spread to hungry Floridians.

Donations will be accepted at local Extension offices from Sept. 29 through Nov. 24.

Agents and volunteers with the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Extension (UF/IFAS) and Florida A&M encourage residents to participate.

Jars of any size and variety are welcome, but they must be new, sealed and not expired.

WHY FOOD IS OUR MIDDLE NAME
Feeding a hungry world takes effort. Nearly everything we do comes back to food: from growing it and getting it to consumers, to conserving natural resources and supporting agricultural efforts.
