Public libraries are giving away an insane amount of free food - Shareable
by Mohan Hr 02 Oct '20

02 Oct '20

Public libraries are giving away an insane amount of free food Across America, in major cities you’ve heard of and in countless places you most likely have never considered, public librarians are working with local, state, and national partners to bring food to those who need it during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Wait — librarians? Yes indeed. And, when librarians distribute food, they do more than merely give it away. They also use the library’s myriad educational and lifelong learning resources to confront the food insecurity that all too many Americans struggle with every day. https://www.shareable.net/public-libraries-are-giving-away-an-insane-amount… Quite interesting With regards -- hrmohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
