Lil'  Pantries

A small act can make a big difference. Our Lil’ Pantries offer simple, safe ways to love neighbors who are unhoused or food insecure. Stock a pantry with ready-to-eat items, and someone eats today.

How it works

• Pick up single-serve, shelf-stable food.
• Visit a Lil’ Pantry near you and place items inside.
• Tell a friend or organize a mini drive.

What to donate

• Choose items that are sealed, portable, and okay in warm or cold weather.
• Bottled water and juice boxes
• Granola or protein bars
• Crackers and peanut butter packs
• Trail mix and nuts
• Beef jerky sticks
• Individual cups: fruit, applesauce, pudding
• Single-serve snacks: chips, popcorn, pretzels
• Ready-to-eat cans with pull tabs, if you’d like to add a few

Please avoid

• Anything perishable or homemade
• Items that melt or spoil in heat, like chocolate
• Glass containers

Tips for a great drop-off

• Smaller portions help more people.
• Variety matters. Include a mix of sweet, salty, and protein.
• Write a short note of encouragement and tuck it in. Kindness travels.

Want to do more?
