Got a green thumb? Enjoy your garden while helping your community this summer by participating in Grow a Row! The Goffstown Network Food Pantry's Grow a Row program encourages local gardeners to add an extra row of their favorite vegetables to their garden this year. Your vegetable surplus will be used to stock the Goffstown Network Food Pantry with healthy and fresh food for our neighbors in need.

The Library supports the project as much as possible:

• During harvests, drop off your produce at the Library when the food pantry is closed and we’ll be sure to deliver what you bring in.
• When you're planning and planting your extra row or two of vegetables, visit the Library to browse our great collection of gardening books.

Please consider this worthwhile community project - it’s also a great way to get kids in the garden, learning about growing and giving!

For more information: Goffstown Network Food Pantry at St. Matthew's, 7 North Mast Street, 497-3433, www.goffstownnetwork.org.

Let’s Get Personal: Personal Care Item Drive

Lend a helping hand this summer! When you drop off needed items at the Library, we’ll deliver them to the Goffstown Network Food Pantry.

The list: soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste/mouthwash/dental floss, toothbrushes, razors for women and men, shaving cream, moisturizers, feminine hygiene products, diapers, and baby wipes.

• Download and print the list.
