Houston Food Bank Volunteers Make 4,300 Jars of Peanut Butter For The Hungry

This week, as part of a local community activity to build up the inventory of the Houston Food Bank, local Author Tom McCloud, arranged for employees from Hewlett Packard, The Woodlands Minuteman Press, The Roses for Roses Foundation, and others to volunteer their time by canning more than 4,356 jars of peanut butter at a nearby factory.

More than 7,400 pounds of freshly picked peanuts were roasted, processed with ingredients, and packaged to be distributed to hunger relief agencies within southeast Texas. Of the estimated half million people who need assistance from the Houston Bank pantries each year, nearly 44 percent are children.
