Community
Free Food Resources
Community is important to us, which is why we spend so much energy on providing resources and serving the community. We provide three resources to help combat food insecurity in our community:
- Books & Bread is a free drive-up pop-up pantry and is held the fourth Wednesday of the month at Church of the Nazarene in Spooner, 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
- Compassion Kitchen provides food bags which are stocked twice per month. These food bags are located in the lobby.
- WashCo Grows is a community garden bed initiative in which the library and other organizations in Washburn County provide free produce to the community.
