Last year, Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services and Megan Begert partnered to apply for a grant to create the Overlook Resident Services program. We were awarded the grant funds January 2008 and have continued to develop a strong resident services program ever since. Our biweekly food pantry, educational presentations, holiday events and a number of other programs are the products of this grant.
Once again, we have been awarded a grant to support our efforts. The Friends of the Tompkins County Public Library has granted us an award to create a Lending Library for the Overlook. We will use the grant funds to purchase and make available a small library for Overlook residents to use and return individual books. The books will include children’s stories, novels for teens and adults, and books to help residents further their education or improve the quality of their lives.
The Friends of the Tompkins County Public Library has been very generous, and we are very appreciative!
Look for the Lending Library at an upcoming Food Pantry!
