Escambia, Santa Rosa Farm Bureaus Donate 1.5 Tons Of Peanut Butter To Manna

August 25, 2014

The Florida Peanut Producers and the Farm Bureau in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties teamed up to donate one and a half tons of peanut butter to the Manna Food Bank.

After discussing the flood that damaged the Manna warehouse and food supply, the Escambia County Farm Bureau voted to spend $1,000 to buy peanut butter, Manna’s most needed item. The Santa Rosa County Farm Bureau board then voted to donate $1,001 toward the peanut butter donation.

When notified of the purchase of peanut butter, the board of directors of Florida Peanut Producers and Ken Barton, executive director and agreed to match the purchase and donated a pallet of peanut butter.

With the two counties cooperation and the match from the Florida Peanut Producers, the total number of peanut butters jars donated will  be 2,880. The second of two pallets of Peanut Proud peanut butter  is expected to ship later in August to complete the donation.
