Organizers say peanut butter remains one of the least donated pantry items, even though it is shelf stable and provides strong nutritional value for families facing food insecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt Lutheran Health Network, our care extends far beyond our hospital walls and into the heart of the community we serve,\u201d said Lorie Ailor, CEO of Lutheran Hospital. \u201cWith food insecurity affecting up to 15% of our neighbors, we recognize that true wellness begins with access to nutrition. Through the Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive, we are proud to partner with local organizations to tackle hunger head-on and improve the well being of our region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organizations set to benefit from the drive are Community Harvest Food Bank, Feeding Tomorrow\u2019s Future Today: Food Packs for Hungry Kids, Wells County Food Bank, Combined Community Services, Miami County Helping Hands, and the Miami County Salvation Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lutheran Health Network, one of the region\u2019s largest employers, includes more than 6,000 employees, physicians, advanced practice providers, and volunteers. The network provides care through hospitals, specialty hospitals, physician offices, urgent care clinics, and outpatient centers across northeast Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donation bins are available at Lutheran Health Network hospitals, OPS \u2013 Optimum Performance Sports, YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne wellness centers, Purdue Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne Komets, and Elevatus Architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, visit&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/lutheranhealth.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LutheranHealth.net<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"745\" src=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/donations-rubber-stamp-grunge-design-dust-scratches-effects-can-be-easily-removed-clean-crisp-look-color-easily-96359835-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/donations-rubber-stamp-grunge-design-dust-scratches-effects-can-be-easily-removed-clean-crisp-look-color-easily-96359835-1.webp 800w, https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/donations-rubber-stamp-grunge-design-dust-scratches-effects-can-be-easily-removed-clean-crisp-look-color-easily-96359835-1-300x279.webp 300w, https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/donations-rubber-stamp-grunge-design-dust-scratches-effects-can-be-easily-removed-clean-crisp-look-color-easily-96359835-1-768x715.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<!--AUTO-AD-AFTER-->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;text-align:center\"\n        data-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\"\n        data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\n        data-ad-slot=\"9212395598\"><\/ins>\n    <script>(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FORT WAYNE, IN- This from waynedalenews.com: Lutheran Health Network is again asking the community to help stock local food pantries through its annual Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive, which runs from March 2 through March 30, 2026.
