The library just did half priced fines and the money went to TLS Veterans.
That’s awesome - I hear that fine amnesties are a great way to bring people (and missing books), back to the library. Great that you came up with a way to combine that with charity work!
We went back again this week for more gift bag assembly and decoration. Pictured are @ValB, @D-D-D-D-DropTheTable, @DanK and @MNM
I love helping out there. My resources are being tall enough to put things on the top shelves and drawing.
Photos from today’s visit. We prepared sweet & sour chicken which involved a lot of chopping. Hardest part was dealing with the onions:
The library patrons recently participated in half priced fines and $500 was donated to TLS Veterans in McHenry.
That’s awesome and great to see a photo of your library!
That the the TLS Veterans office in McHenry, not the library.
Oh, I saw all the books in the background and assumed 🙂
Our next half priced fines will be going to CASA of Mchenry County
Since we’re stuck inside and can’t go volunteer with There With Care, we’re collecting donations for a local food bank:
Automox is matching our donations up to $5000, which is awesome.
The library has been handing out meals daily to anyone under the age of 18. Not only can they get lunch, they can get a box of food to take home for later or the weekend.
That’s great, especially for the kids that used to rely on the school lunch program.
We made our $5k goal this morning, so with matching that means we’ve raised $10k!
We got a very nice thank you note from Harvest of Hope:
Just want to thank you and the Automox team for your ColoradoGives.org matching campaign benefiting Harvest of Hope Pantry!
Your incredible support — that seemingly came out of nowhere — is a true godsend!
This has been a crazy few months for the pantry (and the world), and your tremendous generosity strengthened our belief that we can serve our neighbors in need, even during the most challenging situations.
