Join the Spread the Love Peanut Butter Drive and Help Stock Our Shelves

Put love in every lunch!

This February, join the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank for our 2nd annual Spread the Love campaign, running February 1-28, and help provide protein-rich food to children and families across San Diego County.

February is a time to show love for the people and places that matter most. Through Spread the Love, we're inviting our community to come together to stock our shelves with one of our most requested, kid-friendly foods: peanut butter. Your participation helps support children, families, seniors, veterans, and active-duty military members facing hunger through our countywide network of more than 450 nonprofit partners.

2. Host a Peanut Butter Drive

Host an in-person drive, a virtual food drive, or both. The choice is yours!

Why Peanut Butter?

Peanut butter is a nutrient-dense, protein-rich staple that's especially popular with children and families. Shelf-stable and versatile, peanut butter is always in high demand. A single jar can provide more than 16 sandwiches.

Because peanut butter costs more than many other staples, Spread the Love helps keep this high-impact, nutritious food on our shelves and in the homes of local families facing hunger. We're also happy to collect other nut butters to offer allergen-friendly options for the people we serve.

Thank you for helping us Spread the Love and make a meaningful difference for neighbors facing hunger!
