Feel Good by Helping Others this holiday season!

Nothing beats the warm feeling you get after giving to others, and we have several local options that make it easy.

Toys for Tots

This season, drop off a new, unwrapped toy at the Toys for Tots collection box at Town Hall.  Just imagine the smiles on Christmas Day!  The toys will be collected on December 13.  The Town Hall is located at 139 Main Street, next to the Library.

Rowley Food Pantry

The Rowley Library is collecting for the Rowley Food Pantry.  Help your neighbors out this winter by donating non-perishable food (please check the expiration date) as well as personal hygiene items and household cleaning products and paper goods. Donations may be left in the library lobby for delivery to the food pantry.  We accept donation year-round.

The food pantry is located in the Baptist Church Parsonage at 153 Main Street. It is open Tuesday mornings from 10 am to noon. All Rowley residents are welcome.
