Lithgow Library Little Free Pantry

We have a Little Free Pantry located in the lobby of our library. Many thanks to the Healthy Communities of the Capital Area and Maine SNAP-Ed Educator Courtney Whitney, who provided the pantry, and to all who donated snacks and other pantry items to keep it stocked. The goal for the pantry is to provide access to non-perishable foods for neighbors facing food insecurity.
We will happily take ongoing donations. Consider this program as take what you need and give what you can. Thank you!


Here is a Little Free Pantry Resource Guide for pantry tips, staples, and recipes.
