Spice Bank Collective

The Salem Public Library is partnering with The Salem Pantry, The Boston Public Library, and The Greater Boston Food Bank to collect unopened spices and dried herbs!

Spices are important to preparing food in a creative and nutritious way, yet are often hard to access for many community members. By donating unopened spices and dried herbs, you can help to offer more opportunities for many to eat healthy, maintain a sense of family traditions, and celebrate the abundant cultural makeup that is found in Salem and the North Shore.


Donations will be accepted on an ongoing basis in our Spice Bank Collective donation box located on the main floor of the Salem Public Library, near the circulation desk.
