Upper Skagit Library Freedge
Upper Skagit Library Freedge
The Upper Skagit Library empowers the community by creating opportunities, fostering connections, and providing resources, while committing to the highest standards of librarianship. The Freedge, an extension of the Food Recovery Program, allows Concrete restaurants, corner stores, grocers, schools, and more to put their food waste to good use by feeding neighbors in need of food assistance instead of composting or trashing leftovers and close-dated food items.

Reuse. Rinse. Repeat.
Every time you reuse your bag, you’re giving back. How many times have you given back? How many times have you reused your bag? Probably too many to count, and we are so grateful for your efforts. Now, how many times have you reused your bag since you washed it last? Chances are, probably too many times to count. So, please remember to wash your bags to help keep everyone’s food safe and clean. And thanks again for reusing your bag!
