Community Announcements |  |
Everyone deserves the dignity of feeling clean and cared for. Our toiletry drive brings together the community to collect essential items—like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and more—for neighbors in need. By donating, you’re helping provide comfort, confidence, and hope to those who may otherwise go without. Together, we can make a meaningful difference, one small item at a time. Donation box is located next to our circulation desk. |

Need a car seat? The Bridgewater Fire Department is here to help!
The department has a supply of free car seats—from infant seats to boosters—for those in need. Even if you don't think you qualify, please reach out to them. If a car seat is available, they will arrange to have it professionally installed for you. If they're out of stock, they can still point you toward other resources.
In addition to providing car seats, the department also offers a service to inspect and install car seats that you already own, free of charge.
