Why does Lifeline collect
Peanut Butter?
-
High in protein and calories; 6 tablespoons
are equal to a 3 oz pork chop in protein.
-
Protein is lacking in the diet of most
Haitians.
-
Peanut butter is rich in other vitamins and
minerals, like vitamins B & E; Malnourished infants,
toddlers, children, women, and families are given jars of
peanut butter weekly, along with other foods such as canned
meats, formula, baby cereal, rice, beans, and other grains
(as funds or resources are available).
-
Most every American adult or child can afford
to contribute at least one jar of peanut butter
-
A fun project for all ages!
