Review for Project Peanut Butter, Maplewood, MO, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My wife and I met ten years ago. I never knew the right person was out there and that they could be such a great fit for me. We are both middle-aged and our marriage together would be the second for each of us. We had already established lives for ourselves and were each saddled with a collection of "stuff," so it didn't make sense for us to register anywhere for gifts. As we were already blessed with a bounty, we felt the right thing to do was to give back. We kindly asked our guests to refrain from bringing presents to our wedding and instead reach for their checkbooks to write a donation to Project Peanut Butter, a local St. Louis charity that has developed a therapeutic, ready-to-eat peanut butter-based food product for malnourished children in Africa. It gave our hearts and minds such joy to know not only that were giving back, but that our circle of friends and family felt as strongly about the cause and gave so willingly. The world needs more compassion, more love, and more awareness; this was our contribution to that effort~
