SMITHFIELD – Public Library of Johnston County and Smithfield (PLJCS) has launched a new Community Pantry to provide common essential goods to its patrons at no cost. Items currently available in the pantry include reading glasses, earbuds, bar soap, toothbrush kits, and feminine sanitary products.
With the support of our community and local businesses the pantry will expand to include non-perishable food items and baby essentials.
The PLJCS Community Pantry was funded in part by a grant from the Johnston County Unrestricted Endowment Fund, which is administered by the North Carolina Community Foundation. A list of acceptable donations is available in the pantry or at the Patron Services Desk on the first floor of the library, located at 305 Market Street in Downtown Smithfield.
