Big heartfelt thanks to the kind person that dropped off a box of PB&J on my front porch this morning. It so happens that I have another box that I was going to drop off at House of Bread tomorrow for the holiday weekend so your donation arrived at the perfect time! ♥️

Another Party in the Park complete and a successful night for The Dayton PB&J Project. Last night we raised $172 selling Smuckers Uncrustables and the adults loved them as much as the kids! We enjoyed all of the meaningful conversations and appreciate everyone that let us share our mission with them.

A special thanks to Mariluz and Lorraine for donating the Uncrustables and our friend Christy for making sure we sold the last box. You ladies are wonderful and we appreciate you so much!

Thank you so much to Tony Garcia for having us on his podcast to talk about the Dayton PB&J Project last night! Carol Wheeler and I had a blast and it's always great to hang out with Tony and Leslie!

If you'd like good laugh, please check out and subscribe to his YouTube channel where we had the opportunity to help him read (and possibly butcher) one of his short stories.

Tony is aways a great supporter and has generously offered to make a donation to the Dayton PB&J Project for every new subscriber, book sale and t-shirt sale this quarter. Of course, showcasing his great sense of humor, he created a new t-shirt in honor of our peanut butter collections.

🥜🍇 Many thanks to all of you who stopped by to say hello at our tent during Party in the Park last Friday. We were off to a rainy start and quickly learned that our little tent is better suited for the sun than rain. But, eventually the clouds parted and we had an opportunity to share our message with the community! We also had a little fun with a backstage view during the concert.

A special thanks to Diana Kinnaird and her son for volunteering with set up and our favorite teenagers (Sofia, Delphine, Duncan and Conner) for helping with the 50/50 ticket sales. We're so lucky to have your support!!

We'll be back at the July Party in the Park so please plan to stop by with your PB&J donations!
