When people donate food to food pantries, usually it’s canned goods that kids all too often aren’t much interested in eating. That’s why Pete Robinson of Lockport founded the Peanut Butter and Jelly Drive in 2010: He wanted to provide local needy families with foods that kids enjoy.
The fourth annual PB&J Drive opened on Friday and continues through December 7th, with donation bins for unopened jars of peanut butter, jelly and marshmallow Fluff being set up all over the Niagara Frontier.
Confer Plastics will be one of 4 drop-off sites in the Tonawandas/Wheatfield area. The collection bin will be set-up in the front lobby of our office and we will be accepting donations of the items from the community at large between the hours of 6:00 AM and 4:30 PM Monday - Friday till the end of the drive.
To learn more about the drive, and other drop-off sites throughout the region, read this recent report from the Lockport Union Sun and Journal...
