Take what you need, and give what you can!

2019 - When Patrick Stacklin (left) needed a community service project for his STEM class at Ridgemont and also for his confirmation class at church, the seventh-grader decided to build a box where residents could donate items or take items as they needed them.

The mini pantries are an easy way for neighbors to help neighbors who need food, hygiene, or paper items. Even though its home is on this property, this mini pantry belongs to all of us. Please take care of it and the space around it. Tidy the mini pantry if it needs it. If you can, clean up spills, and please don't litter. 

Give what you can by placing food, hygiene, and paper items inside the mini pantry. Give what you would want to receive. An easy rule of thumb: Buy extra of what you buy your household. No gift is too small. A single can of green beans can help. Items should be unexpired and in good condition. Please only non-perishables.

Take what you need. If you find items inside and you need them, take them and know we care about you. Please remember the mini pantry belongs to all of us and take only those items you need, trusting the mini pantry will be here for you again. 

These Free Little Pantries are for the Ridgemont Communities. Please use it and encourage others to as well. 

The boxes are located at the libraries at 124 E. Taylor St., Mt. Victory, and 109 S. Main St., Ridgeway.
