Little Free Pantry

Neighbors caring for neighbors

A simple way to share food with our community.

The Little Free Pantry at Grace Church is an outdoor food pantry available to anyone who needs it. Neighbors may take what they need, and anyone may help by leaving appropriate food for others.

Give what you can. Take what you need. Every contribution helps us care for our neighbors with dignity and generosity.

How it works

Open to our community.

The pantry stays outside on the Grace Church property and receives regular use. Keeping it stocked is an ongoing effort shared by our church family and neighbors.

Take what you need

Food in the outdoor pantry is freely available to anyone who needs it.

2

Leave what you can

Help keep the pantry stocked with shelf-stable food that can be eaten easily.

3

Share the opportunity

Let neighbors know that this resource is available and invite others to help keep it full.

Stock the pantry

What to donate.

Ready-to-eat, individually packaged, and easy-to-open foods are especially helpful.

Please, no glass.

Glass containers should never be placed in the pantry.

No cans during cold weather.

Canned food can freeze and become unsafe when temperatures drop.

Ready-to-eat food is best.

Choose food that requires little or no cooking and is easy to open.
