Upland library to receive $5,000 from Toyota
The Upland Public Library recently received a donation from Crown Toyota in Ontario.
The dealership donated $2,500 to the library for their adult literacy program as part of a donation match program from Toyota.
The car company will match the donations made by local dealerships.
As a result the library's program will receive a total of $5,000.
Shelley Gagnet presented Recreation Services Director Roberta Knighten with the check during the Nov. 28 council meeting.
"We found out that unfortunately that program has suffered along with many other entities with the state budget cuts," said Gagnet, who has volunteered at the library. "It was just really a simple process for us to decide to donate to the adult literacy program knowing it's going to allow people in our community who do not have ability to read and write at this point and give them the opportunity to better themselves and better our community."
Crown Toyota also donated $2,500 to three other charities in the community.
