We recently received a letter from our local Athens County Children Services Board. They are conducting a Peanut Butter and Jelly food drive again this summer. Athens County Ohio is one of the poorest counties in the state and many children depend on the meals that they receive at school to provide their nutritional needs. The Athens County Children Services Board has been distributing PB&J since 2009 to families in need during the summer to make providing food for their families easier during this season.
Each summer they have served hundreds of children each week with this food drive. They are partnering with Community Food Initiatives and Friends and Neighbors Community Food Center to supplement the peanut butter and jelly with fresh produce as well.
We, at BCS Engineering, have decided to do a local collection in our office of either Peanut Butter & Jelly Jars or monetary donations to the drive. We felt it important to also extend this opportunity across the world to you, our clients and friends.
How can you help?
We’ve created a special product that allows you to donate $5 or more towards this program. All proceeds will go directly to the PB & J Project minus credit card fees. If you would like your entire donation to go to the project, simply use Check/Money order as your payment option and mail your donation to:
BCS Engineering

You may also give directly to them by contacting them on their website: http://www.athenschildrenservices.com/pages/peanut-butter-and-jelly-project
Our belief has always been to help those that are less fortunate than ourselves in any way that we can and we appreciate your consideration in helping with this worthwhile project! As always, feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We will be accepting donations through Friday, June 22nd.
