"Washington Trust started the Peanut Butter Drive 24 years ago and, since that time, we've collected 159 tons of peanut butter? enough to make 5 million peanut butter sandwiches," said Edward O. "Ned" Handy III, Washington Trust Chairman & CEO. "Unfortunately, in today's economic environment the need is greater than ever, so we once again are asking our friends and neighbors to donate to help feed a local family in need."
Handy, who formerly served as the President of the Board of Directors at the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, provided these Food Bank statistics:
The RI Community Food Bank network of 140 member agencies serves 80,000 individuals per month on average, a 51% increase from 2019.
One in three households in Rhode Island are food insecure, meaning that they cannot meet their basic food needs
38% of households with children are at risk of hunger.
How to Donate:
Drop off a jar of peanut butter at any Washington Trust branch location. Peanut butter collected at branches will be distributed to local hunger relief agency partners.
