Pantries benefit from library fines
Seymour Library in Auburn delivered 824 items to six local food pantries on Dec. 11 and 12.
The items were collected through the library’s Food for Fines program in November.
Patrons were encouraged to pay off library fines with non-perishable food items. Every item donated resulted in $1 waived off a fine.
The St. Alphonsus Food Pantry, the Salvation Army Food Pantry, the Community Caring Center, the Cayuga Seneca Community Action Agency, the Calvary Presbyterian Church Food Pantry and the SS. Peter and John Episcopal Church Soup Kitchen received items through the program.
