About this Event
Welcome to the Kick Off Event for 2025 DeTar's Jars of Love at Victoria Farmers' Market! Join us at the PATTIE DODSON PUBLIC HEALTH CENTER for a day filled with community spirit on Saturday, March 1 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. DeTar Healthcare System is once again hosting the Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive, running from March 1–25, 2025, to help fight hunger in the Crossroads. This important initiative, supporting the Food Bank of the Golden Crescent, focuses on collecting one of the most requested, yet least donated, items at food banks: peanut butter. DeTar will have a booth to collect donations at the Victoria Farmers' Market and will share more about how you can get involved. We encourage you to stop by and bring a jar or two to support the cause!
Peanut butter is a critical source of protein, nutrition, and energy for families facing food insecurity. It’s also one of the most affordable, shelf-stable items we can provide to those in need. This year, we’re expanding the reach of the campaign and bringing it to the entire 11-county region served by the Food Bank of the Golden Crescent as well as DeTar Healthcare System. Together, we can make a significant impact in the fight against hunger.
Spread happiness by donating to Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive - bring a jar or two of peanut butter to help feed those in need right here at home. And, learn more about how your business or organization can help support the drive! For those who can’t participate in person, we’ve made it easy to donate online! Simply visit the Food Bank of the Golden Crescent’s online portal, where $2 = one jar of peanut butter. Join our $20 Challenge—a donation of $20 = 10 jars of peanut butter, which will make a huge difference in our local communities.
Your generous contribution will go toward purchasing peanut butter for food pantries in theCrossroads, including campus food pantries at UHV and VC. Give today at https://givebutter.com/jarsoflove
