Library Summer Food Drive Kicks Off Friday
A collection box will be available in the lobby entrance at the library for the public to contribute non-perishable items.
The Garden City Public Library, in cooperation with Long Island Cares Inc./The Harry Chapin Food Bank, is sponsoring a summer food drive Aug. 2-29.
There will be a collection box in the lobby entrance at the library for the public to contribute non-perishable items. Long Island Cares, Inc. and the Garden City Library appreciate the generosity of residents to the previous food drives held each summer.
Canned goods, dry goods and snack foods can be contributed. Personal care items, baby care products, laundry detergent, cleaning products and paper products are also among the most needed items. The donations collected are being distributed to food pantries, senior and children’s day care centers, soup kitchens and shelters on Long Island. Please bring a non-perishable donation on your next visit to the Library.
