It's that time of year again for the Peanut Butter Challenge! 🥜🥜

During the month of October, join UF/IFAS Jackson County Extension as we collect unopened, unexpired jars of peanut butter to help families in our local community.

Last year as a community, Jackson County collected 2,855 jars which equaled to 3,260 pounds! Let's come together and see if we can double that for our neighbors in need.

The challenge will last September 28-October 31. All donations collected will be given to Innovative Charities of Northwest Florida, Inc. and Backpack for KIDS - Jackson County, FL, Inc..
