The Gift of Giving Winter Drive
During the month of January, the library is partnering with Al Zahra Islamic Center to collect new or gently used cold weather clothes (men’s needed most), laundry detergent, and personal hygiene products for the Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless in Albany. Donations may be dropped off at the library during open hours, or at the Al Zahra Islamic Center, 71 State Farm Rd., Voorheesville.
