About This Deal
The Issue: Increased Food Costs and Unemployment
In 2011, increased food costs—including a 30% increase in the cost of peanut butter—were coupled with continued unemployment and underemployment rates in central Ohio. Although food banks benefit from lower prices by buying in bulk, these increased food costs have made it more difficult for food banks and pantries to keep up with demand—particularly with peanut butter, one of the most popular items at these agencies due to its long shelf life and child-friendly source of protein.
The Campaign: Provide Nutritious Meals to Families in Need
If this Grassroots campaign raises $350, then the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks (OASHF) can provide 1,400 nutritious meals to local families in need. Each additional $10 donation will provide 40 more meals.
