All ages
As part of The Great Give Back, Rockwell Falls Public Library is collecting personal-care items and essential supplies to create Community Care Kits for individuals in our community experiencing homelessness or temporary housing instability.
A comprehensive list of suggested donation items will be available on the Rockwell Falls Public Library website. Suggested items include toiletries, personal hygiene products, socks, and other practical essentials that can be useful to someone without consistent access to a home, shower, or other basic necessities.
Donations may be dropped off at Rockwell Falls Public Library during regular library hours. Donated items will be assembled into individual care kits and distributed locally while supplies last.
Your donation can help provide a little comfort, dignity, and practical support to a neighbor in need.
