Another Successful Food for Fines program!
Thanks to everyone who participated in our annual Food for Fines program, benefiting families in need in Southeastern Michigan. We collected 1,398 pounds of food and forgave over $2,000 in fines. We are truly grateful for your support and glad to see so many people able to use the library again! The food items we collected went to Gleaners Community Food Bank and St. Mary's Outreach Center.
