Food for Friends 2026

Running February 9-15, Food for Friends is Greene County Public Library’s annual drive to help stock community food banks and forgive some library fines. This gives you the opportunity to donate unexpired, non-perishable food items to your local library in exchange for credits toward accrued fines. 

  • For each item donated, we’ll forgive $1 of your fines on overdue materials (not applicable toward lost or damaged items).
  • Fine-free patrons can pay it forward to help others pay down their fines.
  • All donations collected are distributed to food banks in your local community.

You can donate at any GCPL library location while Food from Friends is running. See you at the library, and happy donating!
