LADY LAKE, FL (352today.com) – Soups, breads, and non-perishables, oh my!
The Lady Lake Public Library did its part in helping out the local food pantry this past May.
As part of the annual initiative, Food for Fines, the library forgives $1 of overdue fees for every food item donated during the month of May.
This year, the library was able to collect over 1,000 items and donate them to the Lady Lake Christian Food Pantry, a community-based program that feeds over 350 families each month.
The community food pantry was started back in 1998 as an off-campus ministry of North Lake Presbyterian Church. It remains an essential program, providing groceries for families in need in Lady Lake, The Villages, Summerfield and Weirsdale.
