Shopping at The Little Pantry

Step inside the door of The Little Pantry on any given Saturday morning and the first area you will see is our living room. We offer breakfast snacks and coffee on Saturday mornings to those who are waiting to shop. Shoppers are called numerically to walk among our shelves and select the items they can use, with the help of a volunteer. Bags are packed and needs met, in a one-on-one setting and a personalized, friendly atmosphere.

Shoppers with special needs, such as coats or shoes, are encouraged to fill out a Wish List. We collect the wish lists and try to re-distribute donated items accordingly.

How You Can Help

It’s very easy to make a big impact at TLP. Every donation of food is vital to us. Our most vital and current needs are listed regularly on our Facebook page. “Like” us for up-to-the-minute information.

Help us get the word out about TLP—share our information with family and friends who may also be interested in becoming a partner with us.

Hosting a food drive is not a difficult task—in fact, it’s pretty easy. Collect canned items and non-perishables at work, church  or in your neighborhood. Let us know if you need additional flyers to spread the word about TLP or if you would like to talk to one of our volunteers about specific ways to help.
