14th Annual Parma Peanut Butter Drive A Success!

The 14th Annual PB drive kicked off on December 1st at Zielinski Park with Founder State Representative Sean Patrick Brennan!

During the month of December, Parma residents donated peanut butter for the 14th Annual Parma Peanut Butter (PB) Drive. Since its inception in 2010, the Parma PB Drive has generated over 12 tons of peanut butter, thanks to the generosity of the community. This amounts to approximately 24,000 jars of peanut butter distributed to area seniors through All Faiths Pantry. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported the drive.

Now in its 18th year, All Faiths Pantry delivers nutritious groceries directly to the homes of qualifying seniors in Parma and surrounding communities. We are busier than ever and need community support. Times are tough for many, especially older adults on a fixed income who face other challenges as well. This annual drive brings awareness and helps us continue to support older adults in our community.  Peanut butter, being a well-liked, high-protein, calorie-dense food, is a valuable addition to the monthly bags distributed by All Faiths Pantry.

Founder and organizer State Representative Sean Patrick Brennan has kept the drive going for 14 years. We extend our sincere gratitude to Represenative Brennan, our donors, and the community partners who supported this year’s drive: Lamar Advertising, Rumpke Waste & Recycling, University Hospitals Parma Medical Center, Parma City Hall, Cuyahoga County Public Library Parma Branches, and Planet of the Vapes.

You can still support the drive with a donation online at www.allfaithspantry.org or by sending a check to All Faiths Pantry, P.O. Box 34239, Parma, Ohio, 44134 (please write 'PB Drive' in the memo).
