A post on the food pantry Facebook page reads, "If you don't have time or don't know exactly what our needs are at the moment, you can always drop off a monetary donation at the library. We have been using any donated funds to keep things stocked. We also take Holiday Meal monetary donations throughout the year as well. If anyone ever wants to Venmo or PayPal instead of stopping in at the library, let me know and I can send you the information. Thank you all for helping in any way you can. We appreciate you!"

The Mt. Pulaski Public Library is located at 320. N. Washington Street.
