Give Thanks, Feed A Neighbor
The air is turning crisp, the leaves are fluttering all around, and Fall Break for students is right around the corner! While this break from school is a time when many can rest, relax and visit with friends and family, it also means that some who rely on school programs for breakfast and lunch go hungry.
Here at CCJPL, we host two community pantries as part of our library’s ongoing effort to support local families and provide vital resources to our community, and we need YOUR help to fill them with donations!
This Fall We Are Most In Need Of:
-
Granola Bars
-
Fruit Cups
-
Apple Sauce Pouches
-
Peanut Butter Crackers/Cheese Crackers
-
Noodle/Mac & Cheese Cups (Heat Up In-Package)
-
Soup/Chef Boyardee Cups (Heat Up In-Package)
-
Bottled Water
Please Note: Our pantries are not refrigerated, and therefore we cannot accept any perishable donations.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Why does a library need a Community Pantry?
These pantries are part of the library’s ongoing effort to support local families and provide vital resources to our community, upholding our Library Core Values of Community, Equal Access, and Service.

Where are the Pantries?
The two pantries are located inside the Craighead County Jonesboro Public Library at 315 W Oak Ave in Jonesboro, AR 72401.
