Peanut Butter for Haiti

New Radio 630 WLAP’s Leland Conway, host of The Pulse of Lexington, has once again come up with a challenge for his listeners, asking them to donate jars of peanut butter, which will be shipped to Haiti this weekend.

The jars will be sent to Southland Christian Church in Lexington, KY,  who has missionaries and infrastructure on the ground in Haiti, enabling them to quickly get the food to those who need it most.

Peanut butter is not only high in nutrients (including protein), it’s filling, requires no refrigeration and has a long shelf-life. And just one 18-oz. jar has  16 servings.

If the past actions of Conway and his listeners are any indication, the Peanut Butter for Haiti drive stands to be a phenomenal success.

Almost one year ago, his listeners brought in 1,500 bags of pork rinds, which were delivered to Sen. Chuck Schumer.

Just weeks prior to Operation Pork Rind, Conway and his listeners donated case after case and jug after jug of bottled water, batteries and flashlights to a local community whose lives had been frozen in the 2009 ice storm.

If you’re in the central Kentucky area and would like to make a donation,  the radio station is located on Nicholasville Road, just inside New Circle Road.

I’ll let you know how it goes as the week progresses.
