Scare Away Hunger Peanut Butter Drive
The City has partnered with the North County Food Back to host the Scare Away Hunger Peanut Butter Drive. During the month of October, we encourage you to support the Scare Away Hunger Peanut Butter Drive by donating unopened jars of peanut butter to help feed local children living in poverty.
Why peanut butter?
Peanut butter is an excellent source of protein for children and families. It is popular with kids. It’s shelf-stable, and one jar can provide more than 12 sandwiches.
Peanut butter is very expensive for the Food Bank to purchase. That is why this year’s peanut butter food drive will be instrumental in helping stock the Food Bank’s shelves with this nutrient-rich superfood for local families in need.
How can you donate?
There are two ways you can participate in the Scare Away Hunger Peanut Butter Drive.
1. Donate to a Virtual Food Drive
You can make a donation securely online through the Virtual Food Drive platform. On the Virtual Food Drive page, you will have the option to select peanut butter. (on the lowest shelf). Simply drag the peanut butter (on the lowest shelf) to the checkout station and once you are finished "checking out", click the red checkout link to securely pay online using a debit or credit card.
2. Drop Off Physical Donations of Peanut Butter
If you would prefer to make a physical donation of unopened jars of peanut butter, you are welcome to stop by the Solana Beach City Hall located at 635 S. Highway 101. Drop-off hours are from Monday through Thursday from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM and every other Friday from 8:00 Am to 5:00 PM. Please visit the City Hall Hours of Operations page for more information on City Hall's hours.
Who benefits from the donations?
Did you know? 1 in 5 children faces food insecurity in North County. All donations will be distributed to North County families in need through the Food Bank’s direct food distributions and through our nonprofit partners’ hunger-relief programs.
