Northwest Health Spreads Love with Successful Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive

4/22/2025

Northwest Health is proud to announce the success of its Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive, collecting a total of 12,975 jars of peanut butter and other nut butter to support local food banks and fight hunger in the communities we serve. These donations will help stock the shelves at The PAX Center in La Porte, Community Services of Starke County, and the Foodbank of Northwest Indiana, providing much-needed sustenance to families in need.

A heartfelt thank you goes to the Northwest Medical Group clinics, and the dedicated medical staff and employees at Northwest Health – Porter, Northwest Health – La Porte and Northwest Health – Starke for their generous contributions to this important initiative.

In addition to the contributions from Northwest Health, local partners played a crucial role in the success of the drive, including BNutty Peanut Butter, Al’s Supermarket and the Five Star Supermarket in Knox. Their generosity and support helped make the Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive a resounding success.

Peanut butter and nut butter are key staples for families facing hunger due to their high nutritional value and long shelf life, making them an ideal donation for food banks. The Jars of Love initiative reflects Northwest Health’s ongoing commitment to the well-being of the community and to supporting organizations that help address local hunger.
