Hi Neighbors! My names Emma and I have built a little free pantry at 512 N Payne ST Alexandria VA 22314. The Alexandria community is wonderful and my goal is to give back to this community. If we all get involved in any way we can and continue to help others the community thrives. No act of kindness is too small and there is no shame in utilizing the resources of the community. No shame, no questions, no paperwork - just access to food and personal care items 24/7. My plea is threefold as I want to

1. help bring awareness to the little free pantries around town. Follow us on social media!!

2. encourage our community to help keep the pantries stocked. Most pantries accept walk up donations or have an Amazon wishlist where donations can be ordered and sent directly.

3. try and connect with local farmers, egg farmers, backyard gardeners and plant enthusiasts. One giant need for the pantries in town is fresh produce - vegetables, shelf stable eggs, and fruits would be incredible to stock in the pantries 🍎

Please feel free to reach out with any questions, interest in getting involved, request for social media or Amazon wishlist links etc. thank you for contributing in any and all ways that you can 💛
