Community Comforts Drive planned during the month of April

Food donations are collected in a bin at the Cary-Grove Area Chamber of Commerce, 445 Park Ave on Monday, Nov. 16, 2020 in Cary. The Chamber is collecting food donations for a Thanksgiving drive for the Cary-Grove Food Pantry through Nov. 19 and will deliver the donations on Tuesday, Nov. 24.

In honor of National Library Week, April 4-10, a Community Comforts Drive will be held during the month of April. It has been a tough go for communities during this pandemic. This year they will be collecting personal items for the Putnam County Food Pantry — shampoo/conditioner, body wash, laundry soap, dish soap, paper towels, toilet paper, toothbrush/toothpaste, tampons/pads, deodorant and personal care items. This is the same as the past Food for Fines drive, for every donation $1 will be taken off your library fines. Only items sealed will be accepted.
