Spread the Love in Monroe-West Monroe
Valentine’s Day is also a wonderful time to give back to the community! Consider donating as a family to a favorite local charity or participating in a volunteer event. Here's one way to help:
The Food Bank of Northeast Louisiana will kick off its 8th Annual Spread the Love Peanut Butter Drive this February to help feed people facing hunger in the community.
The area-wide peanut butter drive will run from Feb. 1 to March 31, to raise 5,000 pounds of peanut butter.
Members of the community are encouraged to donate peanut butter in plastic jars or make a monetary donation to the Food Bank. Peanut butter donations can be dropped off at the Food Bank, located at 4600 Central Avenue in Monroe, Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
The purpose of the drive is to collect jars of peanut butter that will be given to children, families, and seniors needing food assistance. Peanut butter is a much-needed item at the Food Bank because it’s a protein-packed food that both kids and adults love.
