Have A Heart February Food Drive

We're partnering with our local food pantries to show community love through food! Donate your unexpired items into any Tillamook County Library branch starting Thursday, February 1st until Saturday, March 2nd. 

Here is a list of the food pantries we are partnering with and what types of items they are looking for:
