On April 29, Sheridan Public Library staff and the Board of Trustees were joined by various community members as well as representatives of several local organizations, including East Union Christian Church, Phi Beta Psi Sorority, and Sheridan First Christian Church to pack meals for I.D.E.S. (International Disaster Emergency Service). The 60 volunteers packed 10,368 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’s so wonderful to see the community come together and work side by side for a good cause,” Riley said. “Just one of the many reasons we love our small town and we can’t wait to provide this opportunity to serve others again next year.”
