Pennies for the Pantry

  • This year, to make sure everyone has access to good food, we are collecting Pennies for the Pantry.
  • If you are able, drop a penny (or pennies!) in the collection bottle at the Adult Reference Desk for each book you read.
  • At the end of the reading program, we’ll convert all the coins to cash and deliver the donation to the Elk Grove Township Food Pantry, located at 600 Landmeier Road in EGV.
  • Together, we can do more!
