It Takes A Village

Since September 5th of 2020, the stewards of the Tiny Pantry Times group have learned the phrase, “It Takes a Village” the hard way.  After spending two weeks trying to fill the Tiny Pantry ourselves, we quickly realized bankruptcy was going to become a scary reality if we didn’t change tactics.  Social media rescued this project.  We began by posting on the NEXTDOOR app and within two months of the initial post:  the pantry was self-sustaining, the administrators had requested that a group be formed, and a community of like-minded people had been created. 

 We have since become a 501(c)(3)  non-profit corporation with a tremendous support base.

Now, 862 members later, we are distributing between 24,000 and 28,000 pounds (12-14 Tons) of food and personal hygiene products per month.  Our members have been instrumental in keeping this supply steady, but the demand continues to increase.

 We would like to invite you join us in expanding our work.

There is no cost to membership.  The Members are followers of the Tiny Pantry Group.  Some are recipients, some are donors, and some are both. Just click on the link or scan the QR code above to become a Member.  We are always happy accept unopened, unexpired food and personal hygiene products for our recipients.  If you would like to increase your involvement in our village, there are several additional opportunities.

 You can help in any capacity you are able.
