The Tift Regional Medical Center Foundation recently funded a transportation van for the Peanut Butter and Jesus outreach program in Tifton.
The vehicle will be used to deliver peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to area residents. Peanut Butter and Jesus delivers between 1,600 – 1,800 sandwiches each Saturday, serving 500-600 families.
“This program has been active for over six years and has been beneficial in helping feed our community,” says Mandy Brooks, Director of the TRMC Foundation. “The funds from this donation were made possible from the annual ‘Hearts and Diamonds’ Gala. This year’s event netted over $107,000 for community projects such as this one.”
