KYLE, TEXAS –– The Kyle Public Library will host a Food for Fines – Spring Harvest Food Drive benefiting the Hays County Food Bank from Saturday, April 1 through Monday, May 15.  

This food drive comes at an important time for families in need. The Hays County Food Bank sees many wonderful food drives during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons, but community donations tend to decline during the spring and summer months even though the need still exists. 

In exchange for each individual item of non-perishable food, the Kyle Public Library will forgive $2 in fines from a library account. Non-perishable items include, but are not limited to: 

• Low-sodium soups and broths; 
• Tomato products and pasta sauces; 
• Canned vegetables; 
• Dried and canned beans; 
• Whole grain pastas and rice; 
• Whole grain/high fiber cereals 
• Natural peanut butter and jelly 
• Nuts and granola bars 
• Dried and canned fruit (low-sugar, light fruit) 

The Hays County Food Bank is accepting and seeking fresh food donations as well however, the Kyle Public Library does not have the facilities to store and distribute those items. The library is instead asking people to please consider donating those items in person to the Hays County Food Bank located at 220 Herndon St. In San Marcos, TX on Monday – Thursday between 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Fridays between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m.
