Food-to-Go Bags: A Community Resource
To help meet greater community needs during the disruption to SNAP food benefits, Valley Outreach Food-to-Go Bags are now available at the library’s 4th Street entrance for anyone seeking quick, shelf-stable meal options. Each bag provides enough food to feed a family of four for one full day.
Want to help? You can assemble Food-to-Go Bags at home and drop them off directly at Valley Outreach. Instructions and details are available at valleyoutreachmn.org/food-to-go-bags.
For those wishing to help in other ways, the library is partnering with local organizations to make it easier than ever to give back. Whether you donate a coat, make a Food-to-Go Bag, give blood, or support the Library Foundation, every act of generosity strengthens our community.
Valley Outreach Winter Warmth Drive
As temperatures drop, many families in our community are struggling to stay warm. Donate gently used or new winter clothing — coats, sweaters, gloves, hats, and socks — to help your neighbors face the cold with comfort and dignity. Drop donations in the collection bin on the lower level of the library by the Information Desk through November.
Blood Drive: Give the Gift of Life
On Monday, December 15, we’re partnering with the American Red Cross for a community blood drive. One pint of blood can save up to three lives — a simple act that makes a powerful impact. Learn more and sign up online. Appointments can also be made by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
Give Back to Your Library
Give to the Max Day Thursday, November 20 is a chance to support local nonprofits — including your library! Gifts to the Stillwater Public Library Foundation help fund programs, resources, and experiences that bring the community together. Even a small gift can make a big difference in supporting readers, learners, and lifelong curiosity.
