Our purpose is to alleviate the impact of the food desert in our neighborhoods by installing little free pantries that can be stocked with non-perishables, bread and fresh produce. We have installed four pantries already using a mutual aid model of "take what you need, leave what you can" and have plans to install a refrigerator soon.This program was started as a way to share resources available in the community. There has always been an informal network of people who have the time and energy to go to food pantries and mobile food distribution sites, who then share the food with neighbors and friends. These pantries allow us to share with more neighbors. There are no papers to fill out, no income standards to meet, and no specific hours of operation.  It is food available 24/7 to anyone who wants it.We work with a local food rescue organization to distribute food directly to the community twice a week. We receive food from Trader Joe's and from Whole Foods.We have a local farmer involved in our group, and distribute fresh produce that he grows during the season.  Much of the produce he grows is specifically used in Jamaican cuisine, and very hard to find for low or no cost to the community.Our group also plans and implements community building events, such as a pizza party, and reaches out to children by handing out coupons for ices in the summer.
