Way Scarff Ford, in conjunction with the Ford Focus on Child Hunger campaign, will be collecting jars of peanut butter to support the summer demand for kid-friendly foods at the Auburn Food Bank.

The peanut butter drive, which runs from June 14-21, is in response to the increased demand for this expensive staple during the summer months, when many children lose access to school nutrition programs.

To make a donation, bring jars of peanut butter to Scarff Ford, 501 Auburn Way N., between the hours of 9 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Mariners fans attending the June 15 Father’s Day game against the Rangers may bring their peanut butter donations to Safeco Field.

The drive is part of a five-state campaign in the Pacific Northwest by Ford dealers to support their community food banks and to make sure no child goes hungry this summer.
