Donation Drop Off – April 17

Little Free Pantries are wooden boxes on posts (similar to Little Free Libraries) that provide food, personal care/hygiene items, and paper goods that are available for anyone at any time, stocked by neighbors for neighbors. Little Free Pantries differ from larger food distribution pantries in that they are more accessible for those who might fall through the cracks, have no set hours of operation, and are reliant on the generosity of the community.  In high-poverty areas, pantries contain everyday food/household goods while pantries located in middle-class neighborhoods might provide snacks for children after school. There are currently 3 Little Free Pantries on Frankfort Ave for the Crescent Hill & Clifton neighborhoods, and many more throughout the city. Items needed for stocking include:

Canned goods with pull-tops

Canned fruits & vegetables

One-box complete meals
