This September, help relieve food insecurity by donating jars of peanut butter and jelly during Bangor Savings Bank’s annual Peanut Butter & Jelly Drive! All donations will be distributed to local food insecurity programs – food pantries, backpack programs, shelters, and more – supporting neighbors in need across our communities. The PB&J Drive is all about spreading kindness and making a difference – one jar at a time.

Since 2012, the Bangor Savings Bank Peanut Butter & Jelly Drive has collected more than 146,000 jars and donated them to local food insecurity programs. That’s nearly 2.5 million peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for children, families, and individuals. That’s the power of community!
