Inside the Brewery: Peanut Butter Jelly Time!

One of the unique constraints the Covid pandemic placed on society during 2020 drew from society’s ability to protect the underserved, most notably the homeless and poor living often unseen in our region. Long community focused, Lou Farrell devised an innovative and simple solution to reduce food insecurity during the pandemic lockdown. He began delivering peanut butter and jelly sandwiches downtown!

The brilliance of a peanut butter and jelly campaign to feed the hungry pulls in part from Farrell’s previous work helping the needy. Peanut butter, as we all know, can be quite a sturdy protein, less temperamental to many temperature challenges you’d have with other proteins and fats. In addition, jelly provides a pleasant sugar for homeless individuals, whom, due to the nature of being on the streets, can burn through these calories quite fast.

Sandwiches need not be sophisticated works of culinary art. Instead, Farrell requests that people use simple white bread to appeal to all palates, left whole – not cut. Creamy peanut butter must be double layered, followed by a simple coating of grape jelly. Wrap the sandwiches in a clear plastic ziplock bag. Stack the completed sandwiches into a box and drive them to a drop off point. From that point on, it’s Farrell’s job! Farrell picks up the food items and delivers them around to three different food bank / drop off areas.
