Lots of peanut butter jars with the Wendle Ford, 2nd Harvest and Ford Peanut Butter Drive logos.During the summer months, Second Harvest of the Inland Northwest needs extra peanut butter to help feed kids who no longer have access to school food programs.

The Ford Focus on Child Hunger logo Now through May 31, 2019, we will be collecting peanut butter jars.  All donations will be given to Second Harvest to stock their shelves for the summer months.  Plus, the Northwest FDAA will donate a case of peanut butter for every Ford vehicle we sell.  Last year, 105,000 lbs of peanut butter was collected by the NW FDAA Ford dealers to feed hungry kids in our communities.  It is a wonderful way to give back to the communities we call home and support the Ford Focus on Child Hunger.

 

Why Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is a rich source of protein.  And kids love it!  Also, it has a long shelf life; therefore, the food bank can store it for a long time.

Some facts from Second Harvest:

2nd Harvest of the Inland Northwest logo In our area, 1 in 8 people, including 1 in 5 children, are food insecure, which means they lack adequate resources and access to affordable, nutritious foods necessary to live a healthy, active lifestyle.

Our service area spans 21 counties in Eastern Washington and 5 counties in North Idaho.

We supply food at no cost to 250 food banks, agencies and meals programs in our area, and also through our Mobile Markets.

Each month we distribute 3 million pounds of food. More than half is fresh produce and perishables.

Every week, 55,000 people receive food from Second Harvest.
