Join the PB&J Drive: Fight Hunger, Make a Difference!

The PB&J Drive is a month-long project where schools across NYC and Yonkers team up to raise awareness and take action against childhood hunger. Schools collect jars of peanut butter, nut butter, and jelly from students and the community, then host an exciting Bag Designing Day to create bags for packing meals. It's all about teaching students they have the power to help-and that support is out there for those in need.

In 2024, we engaged 122 students, created 122 unique student-designed bags, and made 186 meals-all with the help of our local community. This year, we want to make an even bigger impact, and we need passionate volunteers like you to guide school student representitives through the drive and the activism day!

What’s Involved: As a PB&J Impact Volunteer, you'll support students as they lead the collection drive and guide their peers through the activism day. Your role will include helping them stay on track and offering support when needed. It’s a 5-month commitment from January to May 2025, and we’d love for YOU to be part of this youth empowerment community action project!

Requirements:

• You must live in Yonkers or NYC.
• Be willing to commute to your assigned school, twice (During school hours, decided with school partner).
• Be 18 years or older.
