Donation Drive
Peanut Butter & Jelly

Thomas County Cares – a local organization that supports the homeless community and those in food-insecure households – is hosting a peanut butter and jelly drive through Thursday, May 22. Please consider a donation, whether you bring your jars to Rotary this week or next, or you drop your plastic jars off at one of the collection boxes around the community – including Lowe’s, several local banks and churches, and the sheriff’s department.

All donations should be unopened plastic jars of any brand or style of peanut butter or jelly.

Peanut butter and jelly have long been a staple for food pantries as PB&J sandwiches offer many nutritional benefits, including protein, healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins. Satisfying and energy-boosting, these sandwiches are also easy to make, even for those without a kitchen, or for young children, making them ideal for the summer season, when children are not receiving meals at schools and may not be receiving as much support.


In a nod to the early 2000s Peanut Butter Jelly Time meme, Thomas County Sheriff Tim Watkins and Thomasville Police Chief Wade Glover have recorded a video dancing to the song – with a cameo by Wonder Bread’s own Freddy the Fresh Guy, above. Find it on Facebook.
