Spreading Love: The 2023 Peanut Butter Wars Champions Announced

The annual Peanut Butter Wars, a cherished tradition sponsored by Lutheran Social Services of Nevada, has come to a thrilling conclusion for 2023. Every summer, this friendly competition brings together churches, businesses, and service groups in a race to collect peanut butter—one of the most in-demand food pantry items—and make a real difference in fighting food insecurity.

This year's event saw an extraordinary display of community spirit, creativity, and generosity. New Song Lutheran Church emerged as the 2023 champions with a jaw-dropping 16,235 pounds of peanut butter collected! They were closely followed by Community Lutheran Church, winning an award for the most creativity, with 9616 pounds.

Other notable contributions came from churches such as Good Samaritan, Saint Andrew, Christ the Servant, and more, all of whom displayed impressive efforts in their collections.

The Peanut Butter Wars are not just a competition; they symbolize the strength of community and the power of working together to address a critical need. The real winners are the individuals and families who benefit from these generous donations.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all participants for making this year's Peanut Butter Wars the fiercest competition in years. Together, you have helped Lutheran Social Services of Nevada in our mission to serve the community and combat food insecurity.
