Did you know the library collects food and items for Whitehall Food Pantry all year round? We gather canned/boxed nonperishable products. Items can be dropped off during regular library hours.

We also gather items for Peaceable Kingdom, the local animal shelter here in Whitehall. They are looking for new toys, specific foods, old but clean towels and supplies to care for cats and dogs.

See our website for specific items listed.
