Phyllis Hurwitz
In order to facilitate donations to the Narberth Food Bank, the Narberth Community Library has become a Drop Off
point for donations. There is a receptacle just inside the library front door, in front of the circulation desk. We hope
this will make it easier for library patrons and other Narberth citizens to drop off much needed donations at a time
that is convenient for them. The library is open from 10:00 to 8:00 - Monday thru Thursday and 10:00 to 5:00 -
Friday and Saturday. www.NarberthCivic.org/news is now publishing a self-updating notice of items currently
needed for donation to the food bank at the Narberth Family Resource Center. The needs change regularly, and so
will this list. I hope this will facilitate more efficient giving. Please remember the food bank! Even just a few extra
cans or items from
a trip makes a difference. There is significant and regular need right here in Lower Merion & Narberth. Check out
the article space in the top right hand column of NarberthCivic.org/news under Family Resource Center of Narberth.
Thank you for your support!
