Food For “No Fines” Supports Hungry in Adams County
NORTHGLENN, Colo.–Nov. 25, 2009–As part of Rangeview Library District’s Anythink in Action campaign, library staff and customers continue their tradition of giving back by participating in a new Food for “No Fines” food drive. Earlier this year, as a thank you to the residents of Adams County, Rangeview Library District eliminated overdue fines. Now we ask our customers to say thank you in return to the residents of Adams County by donating non-perishable items throughout December at your local Anythink location. All donations will go to Adams County Food Distribution for distribution to local families.
“The need for emergency food packages is 600 a month now up from 200 a month a year ago – all for households facing lack of food, choice of food or essential bills, or just no other food resource,” says Lily Rhoades, coordinator, Adams County Food Distribution. “Anythink Food Drive is the largest county-wide food drive for FDC in the six years that I’ve been managing the program, and we need the help more than ever.”
Last year, the district and its customers broke all previous records by donation 8,800 lbs. of food for a total dollar value of $11,500. Because the need is greater than ever, we hope to break this record. Non-perishable items can be dropped off at the following locations:
