Mini Free Food Pantry “NOW OPEN”

Mini Free Food Pantry

“NOW OPEN”

As part of the Belding Community Garden program, the City of Belding is sponsoring a Mini Free Food Pantry at the garden located across the street from Woodview Elementary School on Orchard Street.  The pantry is provided for local residents in need and includes fresh produce and non-perishable grocery items. Local gardeners, especially those in the community garden, are encouraged to place their excess produce on the shelves or within the plastic bins that are provided. Others in the community can participate by providing non-perishable food items and also placing them in the bins to protect them from the elements. Commonly needed food items include; canned goods, boxed pasta, instant rice and potatoes, juice boxes, ramen noodles, soup starters, crackers, boxed cereal, oatmeal, dried fruit, and anything else that you can think of when you are doing your weekly shopping. Foods found in discount stores or in bulk are also an affordable way to help out. 

REMEMBER:  Take what you need, and give what you can.
