The Little Free Pantries

Check the map on The Little Free Pantries website to find pantry locations near you.

A LIttle Free Pantry is an outdoor “pantry” stocked with free food for people who need help in meeting their basic human needs in our communities. These are needed now more than ever.

These are built and maintained by local community members, usually associated with a church, faith community, school or service agency, or any company located in the community. Volunteers are always needed to supply and stock food resources. They are kept stocked with non-perishable foods regularly. Local food drives through churches, youth groups, community efforts, keep these pantries filled. They are built and maintained by caring individuals. They are available 24/7. These are not associated with the home nearby.
