Moreover, the Canyon Lake Car Show is organizing a special "Put a Jar in your Car" peanut butter drive. The Canyon Lake Car Club aims to collect jars of peanut butter for Helping Hands. As the most requested food item, peanut butter is vital in assisting local families and seniors in need, making a meaningful impact within the community. Every jar collected during the event will be donated locally, supporting this noble cause. The club is asking everyone who participates and attends this fun event to bring a jar of peanut butter to their club booth!
