The Cincinnati Reds and Hope Emergency Program are teaming up for the inaugural “Peanut Butter Jam” food drive on Sunday, Sept. 21 at Great American Ball Park when the Reds take on the Chicago Cubs at 1:40 p.m.
Fans who bring plastic jars of peanut butter (16 oz) to donate on Sept. 21 will receive one View Level ticket to an upcoming Reds vs. Pirates game (Sept. 23–25) for each jar donated.
Donations will be accepted from 11:40 a.m. to 2:40 p.m. outside the ballpark’s main entrance on Crosley Terrace and the breezeway entrance by the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum.
Peanut butter is one of the most requested items at many food pantries because it is a shelf-stable, protein-rich food that has a variety of uses and is popular with people of all ages.
The “Peanut Butter Jam” supports Realizing the Dream, a five-year community service initiative designed to inspire youth, educators, and communities to complete 100 million hours of service by 2029, honoring the 100th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birth.
The Hope Emergency Program serves Ohio families in need throughout Adams, Brown, Clinton, and Highland counties with food, clothing, personal care, household goods and more. The program helps hundreds of families each week and also features nurse volunteers to provide basic health care needs. Hope Emergency Program strives to be a legacy of hope for hungry people and those in need.
