Peanut Butter for the Hungry is an initiative of the peanut industry in the United States (including growers, shellers, manufacturers and allied industry members) to help malnourished children in places where resources are limited. This includes encouraging the donation of shelf stable, protein rich peanut butter to food banks throughout the U.S., as well as supporting the production and delivery of so-called ready-to-use therapeutic food (or RUTF) to food insecure countries in the developing world.

Peanut Butter for the Hungry is a program managed by the American Peanut Council; staff donates their time at no cost. Industry professionals with varied expertise at member companies also donate significant amounts of time for programs. Funds and direct resources from members, individuals and other associations help pay for products, equipment and transporting supplies to places that need it most.

DID YOU KNOW? Peanut butter is the number one most requested item by food banks in the U.S. You can help by donating to PB4H online directly. Other ways to help include setting up a food drive using our Peanut Butter Drive Success Kit which includes everything you need from talking points to posters to help promote your event.
