Oyster Bay Holds Peanut Butter Donation Drive For Food Pantries

MASSAPEQUA, NY — The Town of Oyster Bay is partnering with the Massapequa-Farmingdale Men's Club to help local food pantries replenish their supplies.

Residents are invited to donate for a Peanut Butter Collection Drive, beginning on Oct. 15.

Drop-off containers will be placed at Town Hall North in Oyster Bay, Town Hall South in Massapequa and the Town Ice Skating Center.

Alternative butter, including sun butter, almond butter and cookie butter, as well as jelly, will also be accepted.

"Peanut butter has a long shelf life, provides many nutrients and doesn't require refrigeration, making it among the most highly requested items from local food banks, Supervisor Joseph Saladino said.

The Peanut Butter Collection Drive will run through November 15th.
