One of the many things I am thankful for are our local Food Banks & charitable organizations that allow us to contribute both monetary & in-kind donations on a regular basis to help those who are in-need. Due the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, however, many of our local Food Banks ceased accepting in-kind donations from private donors. This was despite the long lines of hundreds of cars filled with families lined up for hours to obtain donated food due to loss of jobs, incomes, homes, & more. In addition to being saddened to hear of the tragic loss of lives, seeing how many individuals & families were at-risk for going hungry due to the economic impact of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic brought tears to my eyes. So...in addition to monetary contributions, I still wanted to do more to help others in-need. After pondering the age-old question, "What can I do?" I went online & found "The Little Free Pantry."Headquartered in Arkansas, "The Little Free Pantry" started as a grassroots mini pantry movement of neighbors-feeding-neighbors. It has grown to locations throughout the United States (& now global), & is similar to the "Free Little Library" concept. Instead of books, you can donate food, personal care, &/or paper items to those who are in-need, or take what you need if you need it...no questions asked! The pantry will usually appear as a wooden box affixed to the top of a post --- similar-looking to a giant doll or bird house with a door you can open to leave & take items on-&/or-off the shelves, & are found at locations such as churches, parks, community centers, or even outside of a neighbor's house! Interested? Simply visit their website at: littlefreepantry.org, enter a zip code near you, & check it out!Unfortunately, there was no "The Little Free Pantry" near us, so we drove to Long Beach where one was located outside of a church. We were sad to see that the shelves were bare (except for a few pieces of trash), but it enabled us to fill the pantry with lots of goods! If you have an opportunity, check out "The Little Free Pantry," & (if you would like), make a donation to help someone in-need. Or if you need to, feel free to stop-by & grab what you need...someone may have left a little something for you. Who knows? We just may open a "Little Free Pantry" of our very own!"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one." --- Mother Teresa

Stopped by and did a food swap. This is a great idea especially for the homeless problem in this town.
