All Gladstone Regional Libraries will accept donations of non-perishable food items and basic toiletries from Monday 14 November until Saturday 17 December.

Following the cut-off date, our libraries will work with Roseberry Qld, Gladstone Food Centre, and Little Free Community Pantry (Agnes Water) to distribute the donated items.

Gladstone Region Councillor Chris Trevor said each library will have a basket on display for people to leave their donations.

“I encourage anyone who can add an extra tin or packet to their grocery shop list to do so and place it in one of the baskets at our libraries,” Councillor Trevor said.

“We understand cost of living pressures are increasing, but if everyone can chip in where possible, I know a little bit will go a long way towards helping people in need.”

All donations must be unopened and in date, with preference for canned food with a ring pull, pantry staples such as rice, dried beans or pasta, and toiletries such as period products, soap and toilet paper.

Donation baskets will be located at:

• Agnes Water Library (71 Springs Road)
• Boyne Island Library (Cnr Wyndham & Hayes Avenue)
• Calliope Library (3 Don Cameron Drive)
• Gladstone City Library (39 Goondoon Street)
• Miriam Vale Library (41 Blomfield Street)
• Mount Larcom Library (47 Raglan Street)
• Out and About Library (van visits Boyne Valley, Rosedale area, and Yarwun)
• Philip Street Precinct Library (1 Pengelly Street – Ngallil Building).
