Help Take Peanut Butter to the Bank ~  Volunteer at Peanut Butter Cannery

                  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints partnership

Thank you for your interest in supporting the Houston Food Bank peanut butter canning program.   We hope you will be able to join us with a team of volunteers.  Due to the economic climate and the gulf coast hurricanes, the demand on the Houston Food Bank resources has increased considerably making this project more important in helping the HFB meet the critical needs of those who struggle to provide food for their families. 

Why Peanut Butter?
Peanut Butter is our most-requested item.  It's nutritious, requires no refrigeration, and can even be eaten right out of the jar. The program, now in its fifth year, enlists the help of corporate volunteers to work four-hour shifts at the cannery. Each jar they make ends up costing the Food Bank 91 cents, about a quarter of its cost at the store. This volunteer opportunity is designed for groups of 16 and is great for team building.
