Let us spread the love and get ready for the 2023 Peanut Butter Wars to begin! This protein packed treat is loved by the whole family including kids, parents, grandparents… even some pets enjoy a little skippy! We will also utilize donated peanut butter at our Back-to-School Resource Fair! This is a fun-raiser and a food-drive in which churches and businesses compete to see who can donate the most peanut butter by weight. The current reigning Peanut Butter Wars Champion is New Song Church who collected 29,246 pounds last summer. We shall see if they can maintain possession of the prestigious peanut trophy this summer. Shout out to Community Lutheran who collected about 10 car loads of peanut butter. We may have to rent a Uhaul this year 😁.
The wars will run from July 1 through Monday, July 31st at 3:30pm. To get your church, business, organization involved, please contact Martin at martin@lssnv.org.
