Help spread the word about the 2021 Peanut Butter Challenge

Posted on November 3, 2021

The Peanut Butter Challenge, UF/IFAS Extension’s annual jar collection for local food pantries, is underway now through Nov. 24.

Unopened jars of peanut butter can be donated to Taylor County Extension office, located at 203 Forest Park Drive.

Coordinated by UF/IFAS Extension faculty, staff and volunteers, the competition among counties – for bragging rights only – was conceived as a way to feed hungry families ahead of the holidays in addition to promoting a Florida-grown crop.

In addition to the community donations, the Florida Peanut Producers Association (FPPA) and Florida Peanut Federation (FPF) have partnered with the project for years. These organizations are based in the northwest and northeast peanut-producing regions of the state and will again contribute to the totals distributed to food pantries in those regions.

For more information, please contact the local Extension Office at (850) 838-3508 or e-mail lwiggins@ufl.edu.
