Join in the spirit of giving with our Annual Holiday Food Drive, December 7 through 13. All donations will support local Sherwood food pantries, which are seeing an increased need for assistance this year. We encourage everyone to drop off nonperishable food items at the library during open hours. Every can, box, or bag of food helps make the holidays brighter for families in our community. |
