To celebrate the 100th year serving the community, the Long Branch Min Library will be collecting “100 things” each month to donate to various community organizations.
During November, men and women socks will be collected for Family & Children’s Services of Monmouth County. Please bring donations to the Main Library, 328 Broadway, Long Branch.
Founded in 1909, Family & Children’s Service (FCS) is Monmouth County’s oldest private nonprofit social service agency. The agency offers diverse programs and services that address homelessness; neglect, abuse or exploitation; health and respite care; financial instability due to physical, developmental or mental disabilities; childhood literacy and obesity; long-term care planning and Medicare counseling.
All of its programs and services are provided regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, ethnicity, language spoken or physical and/or mental ability. And while FCS partners with many organizations and government agencies, in many cases, they are the sole county-designated provider of unduplicated services and the last hope for individuals, families and seniors in crisis.
Family and Children’s Services has been providing services and solutions for more than 100 years, and the Long Branch Library is proud to support them with the Centennial community collection.
For more information, please call Kathryn Angelo, Community Engagement librarian, at 732-222-3900, ext. 2270. For more information about library programs and services, please visit www.longbranchlib.org.
