Community Food Drive!

The Library is partnering with local community organizations this Fall to help meet the food needs in our communities.

Between November 2 and December 16, our Harrisburg and Colonial Park locations will be donation points for the Bethesda Mission Food Drive and our Northern Dauphin libraries (Lykens, Millersburg and Elizabethville) will collect for the Northern Dauphin Human Services Center’s Snack Pack program.

William H. & Marion C. Alexander Family Library, in Hummelstown, collects year-round for the Lower Dauphin School District’s Falcon Packs and the Hummelstown Food Bank.
