Update on the Feed the Need Food Pantry:
Thanks to generous community support, the Feed the Need Food Pantry at Forsyth Public Library continues to grow! On a daily basis, folks are stopping by to pick up additional food and toiletry items to help meet their needs and we wouldn't be able to do this without your help. Each day, local residents are dropping off new items to add to the shelves or bringing in cash or check donations. This latest shelf restock was purchased with the donations from many of FPL's Chair Yoga attendees and we're so thankful for their support.
Feed the Need is designed to be a "Take What You Need, Leave What You Can" resource. Please spread the word to any of our local families who could benefit! The Feed the Need shelf is located in the interior hallway of Forsyth Public Library and is available during normal library hours: Mon, Tues and Thurs 9 AM - 7 PM, Wed and Fri 9 AM - 5 PM and Sat 9 AM - 1 PM.
If you have the means to contribute, we'd be happy to accept your food contributions or cash donations. Please inquire at the library circulation desk and we'd be happy to answer any questions you have.
