(Chelsea Update would like to thank Patty Roberts for the information in this story.)
Chelsea District Library invites you to “Be Someone’s Valentine” by donating items for the Faith in Action pantry.
In return, you’ll earn up to $10 toward your fines from overdue items. The drive runs from Feb. 12 – 18 and donations can be dropped at the library’s check out desk.
Each item donated will reduce the fines on your account by $1 with a maximum reduction of $10 per account. Laundry soap will earn you $5. Donations do not apply toward lost or damaged items, or referral fees.
While food, cleaning products, and personal products are always needed, items most in demand include: laundry soap, canned spaghetti sauce, canned fruit, jams and jellies, and full-sized hygiene products. Due to item shelf life, only non-perishable, unexpired canned or boxed food (please, no single-serving sizes) will be accepted.
Don’t have any fines right now? You’ll receive a coupon that you can use at a later date.
