Little River Free Mini Pantry

This past Sunday, we dedicated and opened a free Mini Pantry, offering a new way for Annandale residents to give what they can and take what they need.

The mini pantry movement is a grassroots, crowdsourced solution to immediate and local need. Whether a need for food or a need to give, mini pantries help neighbors feed neighbors, nourishing neighborhoods. To learn more about the movement, visit this website!

How Does This Mini Pantry Work?

This mini pantry is an easy way for neighbors to help neighbors who need food, hygiene, or paper items. Even though its home is on our property, this mini pantry belongs to all of us. Please take care of it and the space around it. Tidy the mini pantry if it needs it. If you can, clean up spills, and please don’t litter.

Give what you can by placing food, hygiene, or paper items inside the mini pantry. Give what you would want to receive. An easy rule of thumb: buy extra of what you buy your household. No gift is too small. A single can of green beans can help. Items should be unexpired and in good condition.

Take what you need. If you find items inside and you need them, take them and know we care about you. Please remember the mini pantry belongs to all of us and take only those items you need, trusting the mini pantry will be here for you again.
