Bourbonnais, IL – The Bourbonnais Public Library is inviting residents to join in a community effort to help local families in need this holiday season. In partnership with The Salvation Army, the library has launched a canned food drive accepting non-perishable food donations throughout December—or until the collection barrel is full.
According to a post from the Bourbonnais Public Library District, the drive aims to provide crucial support to area families facing food insecurity during the colder months. Items such as canned soups, vegetables, peanut butter, pasta, and other shelf-stable foods are being accepted in the library’s main lobby.
Library officials encourage residents to participate early to ensure donations can be distributed in time for holiday meals. “Let’s make a difference together,” the post reads, underscoring the community’s long-standing tradition of generosity and volunteerism.
The library’s partnership with The Salvation Army ensures that all donated goods are delivered to local families in need across Kankakee County. Residents are reminded that even small contributions can have a big impact during this season of giving.
Those interested can stop by the Bourbonnais Public Library at 250 W. John Casey Road during normal business hours to drop off donations.
