Georgia Peanut industry kicks off "Peanut Proud & Feeding Georgia" program
The Georgia Peanut industry is “Peanut Proud & Feeding Georgia” through this initiative to help feed the 1.29 million persons in poverty in Georgia. Through this unique effort you or your organization/business can help feed needy Georgians with a healthy snack packed full of protein – Peanut Butter. Consider donating a case of peanut butter or even a pallet. All peanut butter will be processed locally by Tara Foods, located in Albany, Ga., using Georgia grown peanuts. The Georgia Peanut Commission, National Peanut Buying Points Association, American Peanut Shellers Association and Georgia Farm Bureau have already committed more than $20,000 to the purchase of peanut butter.
