Food for Fines/Food for Thought

April 7 - 13, 2019

As part of our celebration of National Library Week and the theme of "Libraries = Strong Communities" this year, we are partnering with Gleaners Community Food Bank and other TLN libraries to collect non-perishable food items to help feed hungry children, seniors, and families in our community.   We will forgive $1 in fines for each item donated, up to 10 items per day.

Currently fine-free? The Food for Thought segment of this program is for you!   Non-perishable food items that meet the following criteria will be accepted:

·  Unopened

· Original Label still intact

· Expiration date of October 1, 2019 or later

Thank you for joining us in the fight against hunger in Southeast Michigan!
