152 Pounds of Food!

Congratulations to the SERC Library patrons and the SERC staff during our recent "Food for Fines" drive in December. Local food pantries have been affected by the economy in two ways: less food is being donated and the increase of those seeking help from food pantries. We are happy to report that we contributed 152 pounds of food to the St. Vincent DePaul Food Pantry here in Middletown. Special thanks goes out to all who helped contribute to this effort. I would also like to thank Diana and Susan who helped me box up the donations, Diana and Renee who loaded the boxes into Barbara's car, and Barbara and Alex who brought the donations inside so they would not freeze overnight and then reloaded them and dropped them off. This is the second "Food for Fines" campaign that the Library has held during the past year and we really appreciate those who contributed. Thank you, Donna-Lee
