Last year’s APRES Annual Meeting in Oklahoma City was a powerful reminder of what our peanut community can achieve — together, the U.S. peanut industry donated more than 15 tons of peanut butter to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. With generous contributions from APRES, the American Peanut Council’s Peanut Butter for the Hungry program, and Peanut Proud, we delivered 21 pallets (30,240 one‑pound jars) of peanut butter to families facing food insecurity.
Building on that amazing success, we’re excited to partner with Feed More, Central Virginia’s leading hunger‑relief organization. Feed More collects, prepares, and distributes food to neighbors in need throughout Richmond and the surrounding region — the perfect partner as we gather for the 57th APRES Annual Meeting in Richmond, VA (July 15–17).
Our Goal:
We’re aiming to raise $1,500 to fund one pallet of Peanut Proud peanut butter for Feed More’s network of food banks, pantries, and meal programs. Every dollar you donate helps bring nutritious, shelf‑stable protein to families struggling with hunger right here in RVA.
