The food drive offered patrons the chance to waive their overdue fines by donating non-perishable food items, toiletries, or cleaning supplies. All donations went to the Morrison Food Pantry, which is open to families in need every Thursday from 8-10 a.m.
Library staff are thankful for the community’s support of the local food pantry. Visit the library’s website or Facebook page to see their new books, catalogue and collections, and events and activities for youth and adults.
Leveda Ashlin, President of Morrison Charitable Food Pantry NFP, thanked the library patrons as well as Morrison High School Student Council members who helped deliver items donated in their “fill the bus” drive, which netted approximately 1,500 pounds of food and personal care items for the pantry. The students made the delivery to the Food Pantry the week before Thanksgiving. “What a great surprise and blessing! We have some really awesome teens and teachers here in Morrison,” Ashlin says of all the recent donations.
