2026 Monthly Sloppy Joes Fundraiser!
A New Monthly Tradition Begins: Sloppy Joe Fundraiser Starts January 23
The Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library is excited to introduce a brand-new fundraiser in 2026 — and it comes with a side of comfort food! Our Monthly Sloppy Joe Fundraiser kicks off on Friday, January 23, marking the first year of what we hope will become a favorite community tradition.
On the 4th Friday of each month, stop by the library at 27 W. 4th Street, Emporium beginning at 12:00 PM to pick up Mrs. Strycula’s Sloppy Joes for just $5 per sandwich. Sandwiches will be available until sold out, and no preorders are required — just come hungry.
This fundraiser is an easy (and delicious) way to support the library. All proceeds benefit library programs and services, helping us continue to offer engaging events, educational opportunities, and resources for all ages.
Please note that food is prepared in a non-commercial kitchen.
We invite the community to help us kick off this new monthly tradition, enjoy a classic lunchtime favorite, and support a place that brings people together. Mark your calendar, stop by, and make Sloppy Joe Friday part of your month!
For future dates and reminders, please follow the Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library on social media or visit the library for more information.
