Seneca Free Library is a proud supporting partner with the Nemaha County Food Pantry. July’s Food Pantry Focus is Desserts. Collect those cookies! Put in some pudding! Jazz it up with Jello! Consider a cake mix! You can help by picking up a few extra items on your next trip to the grocery store, then dropping them by the library during our regular hours: Monday – Thursday 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Friday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Pay it back! Pay it forward! Or just make a contribution for the sake of doing good for others. Hunger is a real problem, but you can make a difference!Make your impact today! Because hunger doesn’t just happen on the holidays.
This is a service we offer the community. The Food Pantry is staffed by volunteers and is open one day a week. Rather than having to remember what day and hours they are open, you can drop your donations by the library and we will deliver them for you! We highlight different items to donate each month just to offer some direction and promote awareness. When everything is needed on a regular basis, it can be helpful to have some guidance.
If you have large donations it is best to deliver them directly to the food pantry. We can help facilitate a drop off time if needed. Call us during regular business hours at 785-336-2377.
