Westland Goodfellows Toy & Food Drive
Through the month of November the library's Teen Advisory Board is partnering with the Westland Goodfellows for a Toy and Food collection drive. Donated items will be given to Westland families who have applied for Christmas assistance this year through the Westland Goodfellows.
We are looking to collect new toys, games, hats, gloves and scarves as well as non-perishable food items such as canned goods, pastas and rice, cereal, peanut butter, etc.
Please bring items you wish to donate to the library and place them in the appropriate donation box. Donation boxes are located in the library lobby outside the meeting rooms.
If you are interested in receiving assistance, the deadline for application is November 28. Click here for an application.
