The first three weeks in November the Coronado Center Library will be collecting non-perishable food items and tax-deductible monetary donations for the Project Hope Food Bank.
Librarian Margaret Weeter told recreation committee members "17.9 percent of Arkansans live below the poverty level."
The time leading up to Thanksgiving will be designated for giving to fellow state residents in need through Project Hope.
Since March 2, 2009 Project Hope has provided healthy and affordable food to feeding programs and food pantries in West Central Arkansas.
The Coronado Library will call its food collection Food for Thought.
