There’s just ✨10✨ more days until the 2025 Peanut Butter Challenge concludes! Donations have been rolling in and the jars are racking up!

🥜Peanut Butter Fun Fact🥜
Did you know it takes about 540 peanuts to make a 12-ounce jar of peanut butter? And it takes fewer than 5 gallons of water to produce 1 ounce of peanuts! Who knew these protein-packed powerhouses were so cool?
