The Food Pantry of Waukesha County needs our help! In recognition of the poverty and economic inequality in this year’s Waukesha Reads book, the Library is conducting a food drive to assist members of our own community. If you stop in and donate food, you will receive the opportunity to win a Waukesha Reads gift basket. The gift basket includes items like a $50 gift card to the Waukesha Civic Theatre, a collection of books by Jess Walter, vouchers for apple pies and bread from the Elegant Farmer, a signed print of the official Waukesha Reads artwork, and more! Here are the items the Food Pantry of Waukesha County is most in need of right now:

• Canned, ready-to-eat soup or pasta
• Whole grain cereal
• Canned fruit (especially mandarin oranges and pineapple)
• Rice and other grains
• Peanut Butter
• Pediasure
• Size 5 and 6 diapers and wipes

Thank you for considering!
