THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Sailors from Navy Recruiting Station The Woodlands and the station’s future sailors donate jars of peanut butter to a Kiwanis Club July 10, in The Woodlands, Texas.
Zach Yeaglin, a representative of the Kiwanis Club, said the club will then donate all of the peanut butter they collect to the Montgomery County Food Bank.
“When speaking with the food bank, they said they were in desperate need of peanut butter,” Yeaglin said. “Peanut butter is expensive compared to other non-perishable food items, which makes it difficult for them to keep in stock.”
“Peanut butter is such a multi-functional food,” he said. “You can eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is high in protein, fats, calories; it is an essential staple of a diet if you are hungry and down on your luck.”
This food donation was also an opportunity for Navy recruiters to show their future sailors how important community service is in the Navy, said Aviation Electrician’s Mate 1st Class Timothy Finnen, a recruiter at NRS The Woodlands.
Finnen addressed his station’s future sailors and said, “Community service is a vital part of your time in the Navy. Wherever you go, you will be volunteering in the communities you live in. It is very important for us all to get involved, volunteer, and represent the Navy’s Core Values of Honor, Courage and Commitment in all our lives outside of the Navy as well.”
