Food Drive at Emma Clark Library

An annual summer tradition, Emma Clark Library is currently holding the 3rd Annual Food Drive for the month of July. Run by the Teen Services Department, volunteers are collecting toiletries and nonperishable food items to be donated to various food pantries throughout the community. The teens 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 diapers, wipes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shaving cream, disposable razors, shampoo, and conditioner.

A donation table is located at the Library, in the lobby to the left of the Circulation Desk, until July 31. Last year 135 bags of food were collected, and the teens hope to surpass that number this year!

If you have any questions about the food drive or would like to become a teen volunteer, you may contact Nanette Feder, Teen Services Librarian, at 941-4080 ext. 116 or email her at teens@emmaclark.org.

The Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, located at 120 Main Street in Setauket and on the web at www.emmaclark.org, provides public library service to all residents of the Three Village Central School District.
