Ways to Help during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Middletown Community Thanksgiving Project
Be a part of the Middletown Community Thanksgiving Project! Donate a pie for community Thanksgiving baskets.
Russell Library will be collecting fresh, store-bought pies on Saturday, November 21st (10am-5pm) and Sunday, November 22nd (1-5pm).
Register to receive a reminder email to drop your pie off at the Library on those dates. There is more need than usual this year due to the pandemic. Your community thanks you!
If you would like to volunteer to assist at Amazing Grace Food Pantry with this year’s Thanksgiving project, you may sign-up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080548adad2ea2fe3-2020
