Collection Bin for Eagles Up

Items such as granola bars, microwavable popcorn, gum, chapstick, batteries, etc. would be appreciated. There is a list on the bin of "Most Requested Items."

Thank you to everyone who has donated to the collection bin in the library for Eagles Up, a local group that supports our troops by sending care packages to those deployed overseas.


Volunteers gather the donations and pack them up for shipment about every two weeks, so this is an ongoing collection.


Please note: we are not currently collecting donations for the Monmouth County SPCA as we no longer have a volunteer to drop off the items.
