We continue to be thankful for the many donations - large and small - that are coming in to the Feed the Need Food Pantry Shelf at Forsyth Public Library each and every week. The shelves are fully restocked thanks to a generous drop-off from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and we invite anyone who could use a little extra to stop in during normal library hours to fill a bag.
