Many thanks to Megan Holmberg Pugh and her children for stocking our pantry today, on a National Day of Service, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Our pantry is sustained by good neighbors like Megan (and her kiddos)!

We have been stocking the pantry steadily over the last several weeks. We are not putting any canned goods in at this time; as if the cans freeze it will break the seal causing a food safety issue. We have been currently stocking with "dry" items - or items that will not freeze (or if frozen will not cause a safety issue).

Some items that have a quick turn over (and we could use more of):
- Individual servings of peanut butter
- Granola bars
- Protein bars
- Protein drinks (like "Boost" or "Ensure")
- Individual servings of tuna (vacuumed packed packages)
- Hand / toe warmers
- Personal sized hygiene items (soap, shampoo, lotion)
- Personal razor
- Bottled water / drinks

If you'd like to arrange a drop off - please message us. Items can also be donated at Royal Oak First United Methodist Church during normal business hours (Monday - Thursday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.).

Many thanks for your continued support of the Little Free Pantry at ROFUM.

Our pantry is just one of many sprouting up across the country.

Similar to "little free library" boxes that are filled with free books, these "blessing boxes" are stocked with food and toiletries for people in need to take — anonymously and whenever they want.

Eagle Scout Project: The Little Free Pantry installation complete! Couldn't have done it without the army of volunteers who helped along the way. Thanks to fellow Boy Scouts: Kyle Catchpole and Chas Osborn for their help today. We are ready to stock the Pantry!
