Washoe County Library System is partnering with the Food Bank of Northern Nevada to combat hunger in our community. During November and December, patrons are invited to donate cans and boxes of nonperishable food to most Washoe County Library locations. (The Incline Village and Sparks libraries are not accepting donations.)
Food must be in store-sealed cans, boxes, or plastic containers. Perishable food and items past their expiration dates cannot be accepted. |
