Peanut Butter & Jelly Day: Volunteers will organize a workplace drive for the
two most sought after items for emergency food box distribution -- peanut butter & jelly!
The goal is for 1,500 jars each since 1,500 food boxes are distributed each month in
Lorain County to hungry families. The drive will be held in August and September with
the food being delivered on one of the DAYS OF CARING.
