While we acknowledge that we have a long way to go on the path to sustainability, we feel that it is important to recognize the steps we have already taken.
We started with recycling, and we found partners who enable us to do more to reduce the amount of waste heading to the landfill.

We now offer blood pressure cuffs, pulse-ox monitors, white noise machines, and more.
Spring, 2024 saw the introduction of our Seed Library, and that fall, we were excited

adjacent to our library as the site of a Community Garden.
We look forward to seeing what the future holds!
