Southwest Airlines is Just Plane Nutty!

Southwest Airlines and their Peanut Fares first took off thirty-five years ago this month. In celebration of the event Southwest and America's Second Harvest, the Nations Food Bank Network, are teaming up to "Spread the Luv" with a virtual peanut butter drive benefiting food banks in communities served by Southwest, such as the South Plains Food Bank!

Beginning June 1, Southwest Airlines invites you to visit southwest.com and click on the Spread the Luv button to visit the Virtual Food Bank where you can purchase jars (or even cases) of peanut butter to benefit the South Plains Food Bank. Contributions made locally will help us feed hungry families this summer. Southwest is matching all contributions made up to $35,000.

Employees of the local Southwest team are hosting "Just Plane Nutty Day" at Kastman Park (Lynnhaven Drive and South Loop 289) from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Donate a jar of peanut butter and you are entered in a drawing to win two round trip tickets to any destination served by Southwest. In addition, the first 75 kids will get a free Ident-A-Kid card. There will also be activities for the kids such as a bounce house and games.
