Morse Institute Library's FOOD for FINES

Morse Institute Library's FOOD for FINES 2013


How can we pull together to help our friends and neighbors?

We can be Natick Strong.

From August 1st to August 30th, 2013, the Morse Institute Library will be helping the Natick Service Council Food Pantry through its "Food for Fines" program. Patrons may pay their overdue fines for Minuteman Library Network books and materials with new, non-perishable food or personal care items. This offer is not valid for damaged or lost library materials. Expired, unpackaged, or opened items cannot be accepted.

The Natick Service Council at Work in Our Community
Over the past year, more than 5,300 of our neighbors in Natick visited the food pantry and were provided with 100,000+ pounds of groceries, filling 11,000 bags.

Here's How You Can Help
Bring in new, unopened items to pay your fines. Especially needed items are: peanut butter, jelly, bottled juice, cereal, crackers, tuna, spaghetti sauce, canned fruit, Hamburger Helper, coffee and/or tea, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, and Natick trash bags.

Your donations will go directly to seniors, adults, and children in Natick who need our help. Thank you for your generosity.
