It’s back! Emma Clark Library is holding its 4th Annual Food Drive for the month of July. Run by the Teen Services Department, volunteers will be collecting toiletries and nonperishable food items to be donated to various food pantries throughout the community. The teens will help publicize the drive, sort the food and deliver it to the food pantries.
Donations are very much appreciated, and anyone is welcome to bring in a contribution. Some suggestions for food items include cereal, peanut butter, jelly, canned fruits and vegetables, rice, beans, tuna fish, juice, pasta, and pasta sauce. The food pantries can also use men’s and women’s socks, diapers, wipes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shaving cream, disposable razors, shampoo, and conditioner.
Donation boxes will be located at the Library, in the lobby to the left of the Circulation Desk, from July 1 – 31. Last year 156 bags of food were collected – the best year yet! – and the teens hope to beat that number this year!
