What is the Little Free Pantry?

IMG_0801

Jessica McClard started the Little Free Pantry in Fayetteville, AR, where she planted the first ever little free pantry. The pantry is a wooden box filled with personal care items, food and paper items. The pantry is a safe space for neighbors to access these items and share with their peers. Jessica's goal was to bring awareness to local food insecurity.
