Families are invited to join Kraft Peanut Butter Bears ‘Smoothie’ and ‘Crunchy’ as they share free hugs at Ontario Place on Saturday, July 4th in an effort to relieve hunger. For each hug given, Kraft Peanut Butter will donate one 500 g jar of Kraft Peanut Butter to Daily Bread Food Bank, Toronto’s leader in the fight against hunger. For those who can’t make it to Ontario Place, help Spread the Feeling online by visiting spreadthefeeling.ca to send a virtual hug. Whether online or in person, Kraft hopes to generate enough hugs to donate up to 20,000 500 g jars of Kraft Peanut Butter to Daily Bread Food Bank.

Daily Bread Food Bank experiences a steep decline in donations during the summer months when many Torontonians are on vacation. Unfortunately hunger never takes a vacation, which means donations are especially important this time of year to address the over 85,000 client visits to GTA food banks every month, 35 per cent of those being children. Peanut butter is an important food product as it is a source of four essential nutrients and is a part of the array of nutritious foods that helps them get the balanced diet they require.

Visit Ontario Place on Saturday, July 4th to help us reach our goal of up to 20,000 hugs and 20,000 jars of Kraft Peanut Butter donated to Daily Bread Food Bank.
