Volunteerism and Donation Opportunities

Thank you for your willingness to help the Superior community.

To be added to the Town of Superior Disaster Relief Volunteer list to receive information and volunteer opportunities, please sign up using this Superior Disaster Relief Volunteer Form.

Town of Superior Volunteer Projects and Additional Volunteer and Donation Resources

Over 850 items were lost in the fire, valued at over $14,000. The best way to help the library replace these items is to donate to the Library Foundation—money donated will go to replacing specific items that were lost. We currently don’t have the space or capacity to store a large volume of materials. Right now, we are focusing on replacing the items that were lost. The best way to help do that is through donations to the Library’s Foundation.

Additional volunteer opportunities will be added here as they become available.
