Little Pantry celebrates one year anniversary – The Newtown Bee

Published: Oct 13, 2024 8:00 am

The Little Pantry is a stand-alone building in the parking lot of Trinity Episcopal Church, 36 Main Street.

It is a food pantry where the community can donate food and where those in need can receive donated food. “Give what you can, take what you need,” is the slogan.

The Little Pantry serves the community as a complement to the FAITH Food Pantry and other area pantries. The Little Pantry is available all day, every day.

Since October 22, 2023, the pantry has averaged more than 500 items per month. The pantry is supported by donations from the community, the generous parishioners of Trinity Church and several others in the area, including Community Food Rescue, FAITH Food Pantry, Trinity Day School, The Church of Latter-Day Saints and others.

Trinity Church always welcomes donations of non-perishable food and household goods. Visit trinitynewtownct.org for the updated list of most needed items. Donations can be made directly to the pantry at any time.
