Around the corner from our home, there are two Little Free Food Pantries that seem pretty abandoned. They are almost always empty, or near empty & have a really un-cared for environment.

They aren’t in the most easily accessible location, and the parking lot is currently being used to store construction vehicles. I feel like they don’t stand out very well so they aren’t being utilized as well as they could be. I’d really like to take these over to beautify them, make them more welcoming & bring them back to life.

We stopped by today to see what was going on with them & what kind of shape they were in, restock them a bit, and pick up trash that was left behind (including a bag of frozen green beans that went so bad in this heat 🤢). Someone has been using the pot as an ashtray, which we cleaned out. They honestly weren’t too bad, just in major need of some love… and some flowers 💐.

I think our first step will be to make some new colorful signs for these Little Free Pantries so that people can be made aware of what they are. I’m going to make that a project for our kids this week. I think that it will be another good lesson to teach our kids to take care of our community, and leaving the world a better place than we found it.

Until next time ♡ Mama Morozov
