A bunch of South Burnett residents will be enjoying a slightly more nutty Christmas, thanks to the generosity of a local business.<\/p>\n

Proteco Oils donated 600 jars of peanut butter to the Queensland Police Service’s Food Bank appeal on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The 375g jars will be distributed by South Burnett CTC’s Youth and Family Services division.<\/p>\n

The peanut butter was manufactured in Kingaroy at Proteco’s plant from local peanuts supplied by Crumptons.<\/p>\n

The donation caps off a three-week campaign by local police to support disadvantaged South Burnett families at Christmas.<\/p>\n

Donations of non-perishable food and household items were left at South Burnett police stations as well as at the Bill Hull Car Centre in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

Donations left at the Kingaroy police station were also loaded into the back of a trayback ute on Tuesday for distribution.<\/p>\n

Officer-in-charge of Kingaroy Police, Senior Sergeant David Tierney, said several generous cash donations had also been dropped into Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

These will be converted into vouchers for distribution in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n
