The Sheridan Public Library staff and Board of Trustees were recently joined by various community members along with representatives of several local organizations including East Union Christian Church, Girl Scout Troop 731, Phi Beta Psi Sorority, Sheridan First Christian Church, and Sheridan United Methodist Church to pack meals for I.D.E.S. (International Disaster Emergency Service).
The 63 volunteers packed 15,552 meals in just under two hours.
Library Executive Director Kim Riley organized this event as a way for the Sheridan Library and the community to help those in need worldwide. “It was great to see our small community come together, work and have fun in order to help those in need,” Riley said.
