What is Mohawk Valley Gives? A 24-hour community-wide giving day to benefit nonprofit organizations serving the Mohawk Valley.

During last year’s giving day, the community came together and raised more than $2.4 million benefiting over 250 local organizations.

Erwin Library is one of these organizations, and we truly appreciated everyone who gave last year. These funds help us provide programs for our community and much needed upkeep of our historic building.

Prepare to make a difference! On September 20th, click this link here to donate to the Erwin Library. Any contributions made on this day can be matched through various events and initiatives, so be sure to submit your gift on time!

Erwin Library is so excited to be a part of “The Great Giveback” this year! The official date is Saturday, October 19th, but our commitment to giving back spans the entire month of October.
