5 Million Sandwiches and Counting!
Washington Trust has kicked off its 25th Annual Peanut Butter Drive and we need your support!
Since 2001, Washington Trust has hosted the annual Peanut Butter Drive in order to help food pantries throughout our footprint restock their shelves with this healthy, family-friendly pantry staple. To date, we have collected the equivalent of 161 tons of peanut butter to support our neighbors in need- that’s enough to make more than 5 million peanut butter sandwiches!
Now is your chance to make a difference to the more than 28% of households in the communities that we serve* who are experiencing food insecurity!
Donate to the Peanut Butter Drive today to ensure that families have access to healthy, protein-rich, nutritious options like peanut butter. Stop by any branch to drop off a jar between March 1st and March 31st or make a financial contribution to any of our partners below!
