SUMMARY: The George E. Allen Library in Boonville is launching a community outreach program called the “Beacon” to distribute personal hygiene products for free. Sandy Donahue, a librarian, explained that the initiative arose from a grant opportunity and aims to assist struggling community members, including the homeless, without requiring them to qualify or answer questions. The program will not be held at the library but in the parking lot of local businessman Tommy Burus, with the first distribution event scheduled for Saturday, and plans for weekly events to ensure accessibility for those in need.
