I want to contribute through a Gift Card. When I clicked on the card it gave me three choices.

Which should I use? If it's the e-mail one, do I need to supply an e-mail address?

This is probably a stupid question, but I've never done anything from an Amazon Wish List or sent a Gift Card. I don't want my contribution to go astray.

Here's something else to get you all motivated to help out in Kansas. I e-mailed Kevin at the KS foodbank yesterday to tell him that our shipments were underway. This is his response:

It all sounds good to me. Keep up the good work. We have been busy again around here with tornado relief. And ya know it's such and good feeling to help out people in need. I drove one of our big trucks to a site yesterday to drop off product. The bouncing around of a big truck gets to you after time...
Keep in touch and thanks again....

Kevin

Let's do whatever we can to help these tornado and flood victims first. That should be our pressing concern. We *KNOW* that the Kansas foodbank will be there. They helped Greensburg last year, they're helping out again this year. I applaud you all for your efforts!!!! :clap:

I bought a case. It was only 26.40. I figure that will help 12 families. So far we have 108 jars donated.

6/16 UPDATE :

there are 120 jars arriving this week, I believe the first couple ordered had a date of 6/16 or 6/17 for arrivals at the food bank. We have 60 jars pending money transfers into bank account so they will be ordered the end of this week, as soon as they have cleared from Paypal transfers. So we have 180 jars arriving in Kansas over the next two weeks....as of right now.

Collected in 4 days time from the launching of the campaign! Not bad guys, not bad at all!

I missed it myself on the first order, its a real tiny box under the items in your shopping cart. it just says gift wrap/note on it and then goes to another page where you fill in your message. It shouldn't make any difference, I think they will know the amazon orders are from us and the packing slip will show Jericho PB on it.
I know I won't be so quick to click next time lol!

Thanks for your order!

Update from dawn:

Just wanted to update the jar count on our Spread The Nutty Love Campaign and Operation Peanut Butter Storm.

I've just checked and the total of jars donated to the Kansas Food Bank were ............553 jars....plus numereous other food items that were added on over the months the campaign ran. If I can ever come up with a more accurate total given that the add-ons weren't visible I will do so.

Thank You to everyone that contributed with donations, cheerleading, constant updating and repeat donations!! I'm sure our storm was well received in Kansas!!!

A big thank you to Chigal for coming up with the idea in the first place (and I hope you are doing well), to a Jericho fan for helping us set up the Amazon wish list, to Maybei for setting up our page over on RFJ and to RFJ for allowing us to have a campaign page there, Jeanine, NightShade, and countless others who helped support this campaign.....please forgive me if I've forgotten to mention your name individually, its simply because the brain can't bring everyone's name to the tip of my fingers at the moment......you are all greatly appreciated and considered high on my list always. We couldn't have done what we did without your support!

This was a hard campaign and with our ecomomy getting worse day by day and month by month it made each and every donation that much more heartfelt.....you all have my undying gratitude for all of the donations that you made.

DawnUSA

Great job Chigal and Dawn!!! It was fun working with you and I enjoyed it a lot :smiling:

I want to personally thank ka4ist for allowing us to show our support on RFJ for this worthy cause - thank you :bear:
