NTFB Peanut Butter Drive - The Sachse Spread

The City of Sachse is hosting a virtual peanut butter drive to support the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) and their mission to close the hunger gap in North Texas by providing access to nutritious food. Through this virtual peanut butter drive and NTFB’s ability to stretch every dollar donated into three meals, your donation makes an incredible impact for food insecure children, seniors and families in our community.

To donate to the virtual peanut butter drive simply fill your cart with NTFB’s most needed items and follow the steps to checkout. Feel free to start your own team under the Sachse Spread or share this post. Thank you for helping North Texans facing hunger!

Please direct all questions to Amanda Chi, Assistant to the City Manager, at achi@cityofsachse.com.

Library Card Upgrade!

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month, and we have exciting news at the Sachse Public Library. We are introducing our NEW library card design!

All month long, both new and current library users can stop by the Sachse Public Library to receive one of the new library cards, and library card replacement fees during the month of September are waived.

To register for a library card, visitors will need a photo ID with a current Texas address listed, or a photo ID and a separate document (such as a utility bill, lease, or car insurance) with a name and current Texas address.

As an added bonus for Library Card Sign-Up Month, everyone who receives one of the new library cards in September will receive a special offer from Cold Stone Creamery! A big thanks to Cold Stone at the Station!

Visit the website for more information on registering for a library card.

National Night Out

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.

Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all fifty states, U.S. territories, and military bases worldwide on the first Tuesday in August (Texas celebrates on the first Tuesday in October). Neighborhoods host block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and various other community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits and much, much more.

Here in Sachse we will celebrating NNO with the rest of Texas on Tuesday, October 4, 2022. Block party applications can be obtained here.

NNO is always one of our favorite events of the year, we look forward to getting out and meeting you. If you have any questions, please contact Sgt. Wills at jwills@cityofsachse.com.
