RONAN — Don Aadsen Ford, in conjunction with the Ford Focus on Child Hunger campaign, would like to thank the community for donating 187 jars of peanut butter and $330 during our first annual peanut butter drive to benefit the Ronan Bread Basket.
The peanut butter drive is in response to the increased demand for this expensive staple during the summer months, when many children lose access to school nutrition programs. It is estimated nearly 24 percent of children are unsure how their next meal will be provided and when school is out during the summer months, local food banks carry a larger responsibility to feed kids. Peanut butter is an important protein staple to feed kids during these summer months, but is difficult to acquire in adequate quantities.
Don Aadsen Ford is proud to partner with our wonderful community to advance the welfare of our children. Thank you again for the generous donations.
