Food Pantry Collection

  By
In a typical year, the library would have collected Food for Fines throughout the months of November and December for our local food pantry, but as with everything else, this year was different. Recently however, the Brimfield, Holland and Wales food pantry has asked for help from the community due to an increase in need from local families. From now until January 9th, the library will have a plastic tote on the front step the hours we are open for curbside pickup to collect non-perishable food items for the tri-community food pantry. Please consider donating if you can while picking up/dropping your library materials.
