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 💛

Hi! I have had these sardines in oil in a glass jar in my fridge for a few months. They smelled fine, but should I not have eaten them? 😬maybe I’m being paranoid about botulism, but I am broke and hungry.

Hi everyone, I just had a thought about how so many people are hungry and need meals to eat. I go to church on Saturdays at a Seventh Day Adventist Church and every 2 weeks we have something called potluck. People bring food and it’s kind of like a mini buffet. If you are ever hungry and need a meal, I’d recommend checking out your local SDA church to see if potluck is going on. You wouldn’t have to be Christian or anything to go, but just walk in and ask if you can have some. I’ve never had anyone approach my church for this before but I’d hope that they’d receive you with kindness and offer you some food. My church posts on their website under bulletin about announcements and it mentions the potluck dates under local announcements so maybe the other churches do that too.

I hope this helps anyone in need. If it doesn’t, I will pray for you to get what you need.

(I don’t want to force faith on anyone, rather just sharing that with my faith I will pray for you.)

Oh and potluck is during lunch, usually around 1pm!
