Little Free Pantry and the mini-pantry movement apply the Little Free Library® concept to activate community engagement of food insecurity. 

 

 

Little Free Pantry is a grassroots, crowdsourced solution to immediate and local need. Whether a need for food or a need to give, Little Free Pantry facilitates feeding neighbors, nourishing neighborhoods.  

 
 

According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, the world produces enough food to provide everyone on the planet with over 2500 calories a day.

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are:” see Hope McClain’s “Amazing Grace House” Hope hung a lantern in #augustaga for her #schoolservice project micro mini. Beautiful metaphor. Thank you, Hope. 💡#littlefreepantry #minipantrymovement
Three years ago TODAY, the #minimovement began with launch of the #littlefreepantry Pilot in #fayettevillear That the movement’s 3rd Birthday is also on #mothersday seems appropriate; since that time, we’ve nurtured it, watched it grow, encountered challenges, been privileged to participate in its joy and wonder. Thank you so very much to all raising this vibrant, living thing.
TOMORROW! Collect a few items and “mail.” Items collected stay local, benefitting your neighbors. Thank you, @lettercarriers! #stampouthunger
