Little Free Pantry
Our Little Free Pantry applies the Little Free Library concept to help neighbors address food insecurity. It is stocked with non-perishable food items that are available for anyone in need of immediate help with their next meal.
At the same time it is also intended to be a place where people may donate food items that they feel could help these food insecure individuals.
Our Little Free Pantry is located on the NE corner of the FUMC church property at 201 NW 2nd Street in Bentonville.
