What Is A Free Food Pantry: 

A free food pantry is a community run outdoor pantry cabinet filled with free food for anyone who needs. People can come and restock the pantry and those who need food can come and take what they need.

How To Stock: 

Fill with non perishable food items. Canned goods, granola bars, pastas and pantry staples like peanut butter and cooking oils are all great options. Focus on items that don't require much skill or work to cook. Basic hygiene items like toilet paper and tooth brushes are also very important items to incorporate.

Where To Place:

You want to place your free food pantry somewhere that is easy to access and gets a lot of foot traffic. Main roads are optimal. In terms of specific locations, ask local business owners if you can place your pantry outside their establishment.

How To Advertise:

Find local social media groups (Facebook works great) to advetise in. Be specific about location and encourage people to donate. Post actively and watch your pantry fill up then empty in no time!
