A Million Thanks

I went to the local WalMart Friday to buy my peanut butter for the Stamp Out Hunger food drive and was excited to see no 18 ounce jars of Jif or Peter Pan and the Skippy and Reese's were almost gone.

Sounds like the response locally was phenomenal.

Also, KMC took over 320 jars of peanut butter to the local post office Friday. They contacted their dealers and suppliers to also participate. What a great response we got to this.
