Story
For 22 years, Washington Trust has been known as the "Peanut Butter Bank!" Since we launched the annual Peanut Butter Drive in 2000, we have collected the equivalent of more than 151 TONS of peanut butter. That's enough to make 4.7 MILLION peanut butter sandwiches!
Join us in supporting the Rhode Island Community Food Bank this year during our annual Peanut Butter Drive. The Rhode Island Community Food Bank acquires and distributes food to neighbors in need through a statewide network of 159 pantries and meal sites. Each month, 54,000 Rhode Islanders receive food assistance at these agencies. 66% of households served by food pantries include seniors and/or children.
Since the Food Bank purchases nutritious food in bulk, your donated dollars are leveraged to get more food than can be purchased at the grocery store, thereby getting more food out to those in the community who need it.
Thank you for your support!
