WANTED: Peanut Butter!

Host a Peanut Butter Drive

What is Wanted: Peanut Butter?

Peanut butter is commonly in short-supply at The Walworth County Food Pantry and is expensive to purchase in bulk. The Wanted: Peanut Butter campaign is a local food drive to ensure a steady supply of this healthy and nutritious staple for hunger families relying on The Walworth County Food Pantry throughout the winter months. Peanut butter is the perfect, kid-friendly food. It’s healthy and nutritious, and a key part of the MyPlate initiative. The MyPlate nutrition guidelines for emergency food distribution focus on the five main food groups: Fruits, Vegetables, Whole Grains, Dairy, and Protein, which includes peanut butter. During the campaign, local businesses, schools and organizations jump on board to host peanut butter food drives. Wanted: Peanut Butter is a true local community effort. We hope to raise 5,000 jars!

Host a Diaper Drive!

Diapers are expensive and without disposable diapers, babies and toddlers cannot attend day care and without day care, the parents can't go to work.

Help us become a reliable source of diapers for the families in need in Walworth County. Hosting a diaper drive will help us become a diaper bank and a regular source of diapers to eligible families.

Consider hosting a Diaper Drive with your local church, school, book club or scouts! It's fun and easy and we provide the entire tool kit to get you started and complete a successful drive. Click here to download the tool kit.

Hold a Toothpaste Drive!

We make sure kids do not go to bed hungry, you can help make sure they go to bed with clean teeth. It's simple to organize a drive for this inexpensive yet much needed product. Families cannot use their FoodShare to buy toothpaste and you can help assure they have enough through our pantry. Hold a toothpaste drive, keep track of what you collect and drop it off at the pantry Fridays from 10 am - 4 pm and Saturdays from 9 - 11 am or by appointment. If needed, we can pick it up!

We remain committed to our mission to close the hunger gap in our community by providing access to nutritious food. And during uncertain times like these, we turn to you, to ensure we are able to continue our important work.
