Help Us Make Change!

So far through your donations, we have been able to provide the food bank with over 400 canned goods as well as a host of other MUCH needed items. Please continue to give generously!  

This year, the need is greater than ever—twice as many families in our community are struggling to put food on the table. 

With your support, we can bring comfort and warmth to those facing tough times. Please join us by donating non-perishable food items to help us reach even more families in need.

Items can be dropped off at the circulation desk.

 Together, we can make sure no one goes hungry this holiday season.

Give generously. Every donation counts.
