The Season Of Giving

Join us this holiday season for our annual Holiday Giving Drive, where we come together to make the season brighter for families in need. This year, we’re collecting toys, gift cards, and other gifts to ensure every child and family experiences the magic of the holidays. Your generosity can bring joy, hope, and smiles to our community.

Be sure to visit our Giving Tree, now on display in our lobby. Each ornament represents a wish or need. Choose one (or more!) to make someone’s holiday special.

Donations will be accepted until December 23rd.

 Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. Let’s celebrate the spirit of giving together!

We’re giving you the chance to clear your overdue fines and help neighbors in need!

For every canned or non-perishable item you donate, we’ll reduce your overdue book fines by 25¢.

✅ No fines? No problem! You can still donate! 

All donations will go to support local families through the

Bridgewater Food Bank.

Together, we can make a difference—one can and one act of

kindness at a time.
