Our generous employees, physicians, and community business partners made our third annual Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive a huge success. In 2025, we collected and donated approximately 125,000 jars of peanut butter to more than 60 local food banks.

The peanut butter we’ve collected over three years is enough to make more than two million sandwiches for families in need.
