A Community of Caring: Kidzpacks Food Drive

Sometimes, the only meals a child gets is at school. The Kidzpacks program sends these kids home on the weekends with meals so that they don't go hungry outside of school hours. The Quincy Public Library, in its commitment to the community, is holding a food drive from April 1st- May 31st to collect food donations for the Kidzpacks! Help out our community's children and drop off a food donation!

Donations must be single serve (mac & cheese cups instead of boxes, for example), easily opened without a can opener (i.e., pop-top), microwave safe, and non-perishable (nothing that requires freezing or refrigeration).

examples include:

• Microwaveable mac & cheese, mashed potato, pasta, ramen noodle, soup, oatmeal & rice cups
• pop-top ravioli, soups, spaghetti O-s, etc.
• Fruit or pudding cups
• applesauce pouches
• Peanut butter or other cracker packs
• cereal cups
• granola bars, cereal bars, trail mix, etc.
• beef sticks
• chips/crackers
• raisins and other dried fruits, single serve

Bring your donations into the library and place them into the donation box any time the library is open: M-Th 9-8, Fri & Sat 9-5

Don't want to have to shop? That's okay! Bring your cash or check donation into the library and let us do the shopping!
