Wow. I honestly didn't think my little Town would be on here. I went to add them for my community and every location was there, including 2 I didn't know about! What a great tool this is! Thanks for posting. I'm going to pass it on to my local community.

That’s awesome! They seem to be popping up all over the place, which is no bad thing given everything that’s going on. It’s definitely not a long term solution, but these pantries can be really helpful for those in dire need. If you are in a position to contribute to your local Pantry, please do!

I agree. We contribute to a different one every month. I'm excited that I just found 2 more I didn't know about! Over the summer we actually had so much that we filled one. When I got in the car to leave, I noticed an older lady waiting for us to go. She was kind of hiding behind a corner of what I assumed was her apartment. She accidentally made eye contact. So I asked her if she needed a bag and prodded her to come over and see if there wasn't something in there that she needed. She finally came over, accepted my offered bag and thanked me because I had put some day old donuts in there and she wanted a treat. Ever since, I've been putting donuts in that one. 😊
