The Allegan County Food Pantry Collaborative is seeking 5,000 jars of peanut butter as part of a new drive. It says the annual Peanut Butter Drive kicked off on January 24 at its downtown Allegan office. The goal is to collect peanut butter to distribute among ACFPC members and the families they serve. The collaborative says peanut butter is a shelf-stable source of protein that can be of significant use to families. By donating online or at one of the physical drop sites around the county, anyone can help a neighbor in need. In 2022, more than 10,000 cans of soup, nearly 4,000 jars of peanut butter, 8,600 boxes of cereal, and 1,700 pounds of ground beef were collected for the ACFPC pantry members. The Allegan County Food Pantry Collaborative is part of the Allegan Community Foundation.
