Through the month of December, the Boynton Beach City Library, 208 S Seacrest Blvd., is having a food drive and toy collection.
Karen Abramson, library spokeswoman, said the library would collect nonperishable food items during the month and that all food collected would benefit the Boynton Beach Community Caring Center, a local nonprofit helping the homeless.
The collection is for the center to be able to continue to help feed the needy and hungry during the upcoming holidays.
The center’s food pantry is almost bare and needs to be replenished, especially during the recent economic woes throughout the country.
In addition, the library is a deposit point for the Toys-for-Tots program for needy children. The final date someone can drop off a wrapped toy is Dec. 12.
