Every year, Salem Public Library collects food to donate to a charitable organization in the Salem area.
“Every year we pick somewhere different,” said Lisa Lewis who works at the Salem Public Library.
This year they selected Grace Harbor to be the recipient of their drive.
“We started this several years ago,” said librarian Glenda Wofford of the food drive.
“The food drive consists of non-perishables and each year we try to raise as much as we can. The amount varies—sometimes we have to empty out a few times before we’re done. We’ve had several large boxes before,” said Wofford.
Library staff inventories to ensure items are not out-of-date.
Non-perishable food items can be dropped at the library during operating hours Monday through Saturday until Nov. 20. The box is located just inside the front door of the library, to the right.
