Finding Monroe County Organizations

Beginning March 2025, the Library is decommissioning the Community Organizations Database. Library patrons can still find information about local organizations and services using a variety of tools tailored to their subjects of interest.

The databases suggested here are tailored to both individuals and nonprofit organizations looking for information about opportunities to volunteer, donate, and receive services. 

 

April 17–23 is Volunteer Week

We’ll start the day at 9:30 AM with a storytime featuring "Hands Up" by Brianna J. McDaniel and "Our Skin: A First Conversation About Race" by Megan Madison and Jessica Ralli, followed by crafts to celebrate Black lives and honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Energy and Water Assistance for Hoosiers

Energy Assistance Program

South Central Community Action Program (SCCAP) is once again providing financial assistance with winter fuel/heating bills for households in Monroe County for the upcoming 2021–22 season.

The Energy Assistance Program (EAP) is an annual program that assists members of our community who have household incomes at or below 60% of the State Median Income. This program is available to Hoosiers renting and for those who own their home. You do not need to have fallen behind on your heating or electric bills to qualify.
