Mini Pantry Movement

The Mapping Little Free Pantry site is a crowd-sourced digital map that helps people find small, grassroots “mini pantries” in their community. These pantries operate 24/7, with a simple “take what you need, give what you can” philosophy, so neighbors can support each other without barriers. (mapping.littlefreepantry.org) Users can easily search for nearby little free pantries or even register a new location by adding their own pantry to the map. (mapping.littlefreepantry.org) Rooted in mutual aid, this movement fosters community involvement in tackling food insecurity and creating a more equitable food system. (The Little Free Pantries)
