We Collect Food Pantry Donations @ The Library

 

 

Time to deliver the goods to the Food Pantry and make room for more donations!

The September Food Pantry Highlight is September Food Pantry highlight is peanut butter and crackers and jelly, too, if you want!

This is a service we offer the community. The Food Pantry is staffed by volunteers and is open one day a week. Rather than having to remember what day and hours they are open, you just need to remember that you can drop your donations by the library and we will deliver them for you. We highlight different items to donate, just to give you some direction. When everything is needed, it can be helpful to have some guidance. We are happy to deliver them to where they need to go.

If you have large donations it is best to deliver directly to the food pantry. We can help facilitate a drop off time if needed. Call us during regular business hours at 785-336-2377.

FYI The Pantry is closed the second Wednesday of the month.
