Food Drive, July 1 – August 18

An annual summer tradition, Emma Clark Library is collecting nonperishable food items from July 1 – August 18. Food pantries often see bare shelves during the summer and need help with restocking items for those who are food insecure. Library teen volunteers will be distributing the items to various local food pantries and nonprofit organizations throughout the community.

A donation table will be located in the Library lobby to the left of the Circulation Desk, and all are welcome to donate during Library hours. Some suggestions for food items include cereal, peanut butter, jelly, canned fruits and vegetables, rice, beans, tuna fish, juice, gum, snacks (pretzels, granola bars, trail mix, cookies), pasta, and pasta sauce.

Please note: The Library will be closed on Thursday, July 4.
