Still in the giving mood? Visit participating businesses in the Brookside Shops to donate, help those in need and “Spread the Love” through the end of February. Spread the Love is a peanut butter and jelly drive benefiting the JFS Food Pantry on 63rd Street. Each month, our friends at JFS distribute approximately 700 jars of peanut butter to individuals and families in need. Jelly is also extremely popular but costly for food pantries to purchase through food networks. The drive helps collect the much need resource and has a goal of collecting 2000 jars of peanut butter and other spreadable. As a thank you for your donation, participating businesses are offering a thank you benefit.
