This Little Free Food Pantry effort was initiated through The Neo-Political Cowgirls’ annual workshop, January Girls, where participants ages 6 to106 gather in art, ally-ship and friendship for a month of Sundays. The Little Free Food Pantry movement spans the nation where small pantries with non-perishable food and other necessities within are free 24/7 for anyone to receive from as needed. The Little Free Food Pantry is a “Give a cup/Borrow a cup of sugar, neighborly experience where dignity, caring and sharing are put into action for all to support one another as a community collective,” says NPC founder and Artistic Director Kate Mueth. The community can also donate items to the pantry at any time (No dented cans or expired donations, please) and/or sign up to volunteer for a month of a weekly shift to be a pantry caretaker.
