The North Texas Food Bank announced the launch of the Annual Spread the Hope Peanut Butter Drive today (Thursday, Sept. 1) as part of Hunger Action Month.

The food drive runs throughout September to collect 500,000 pounds of peanut butter, both physically and online through a monetary donation, to help feed North Texans facing hunger.

The jars of peanut butter collected through this drive can then be distributed through the North Texas Food Bank’s Food 4 Kids backpack program and NTFB’s feeding network of more than 400 partner agencies and organizations.
