Food Drive and Global Youth Service Day
The Colonie Library is participating in The Great Give Back – an annual opportunity for libraries to organize a service project for their communities! Nonperishable food items will be collected for local food banks throughout the month of October. Donations can be brought to the library any time from October 1 – October 27. A list of most needed items can be found at libr.info/FoodDrive2023.
Teens can participate in Global Youth Service Day by signing up either as an individual or with a group to collect food in whatever manner they choose throughout October. On Saturday, October 28, teen participants can stop by The Crossings Park for a complimentary tote bag before either delivering the food directly to the food bank of their choice, or leaving the food with the library at The Crossings to be delivered to the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York. Teens can find more information and register at libr.info/GlobalYouth2023.
