DURANT – To help address hunger in our community and in celebration of National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day on April 2, AllianceHealth Durant donated more than 750 jars of peanut butter to Hands of Hope food bank.
All of the peanut butter was donated by AllianceHealth Durant’s employees, medical staff members and volunteers during the recent Jars of Lover Peanut Butter Drive, along with numerous businesses such as Featherstone Assisted Living Community, King’s Daughters & Sons Nursing Home, Enhabit Home Health, A Path of Care, and others generously contributing to the cause.
According to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, 7,990 people in Bryan County live with hunger. The third Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive was launched to help support individuals who are facing food insecurity, a social determinant of health.
“We are incredibly proud of our healthcare team’s dedication to serving our community, both inside and outside our hospital walls. Their generosity and compassion are evident in initiatives like the Jars of Love drive, where their efforts help fight hunger and make a meaningful impact. This commitment to service reflects the very heart of our purpose-providing value to the people and communities we serve,” said Shelton Williams, FACHE, Chief Executive Officer.
