As food insecurity continues to affect our community, the demand for essential items grows. The pantry is restocked regularly thanks to generous donations from individuals, businesses, and community groups. Monetary contributions help us purchase high-demand items consistently and ensure the pantry remains well-stocked.
​​
The Little Free Pantry began in September 2016 with just a few shelves. Since then, it has expanded to include three full rows of shelving, a refrigerator, and a microwave station, reflecting the growing need and community support.​
