Little Free Pantry

The Stewiacke & Elmsdale Libraries each have a Little Free Pantry!

Located in the entrance of the Stewiacke Library and inside the Elmsdale Library, the Little Free Pantries are filled with non-perishables, snack food and drinks, and hygiene items that are free for anyone to take. The pantries are stocked through donations by generous community members, organizations, and local companies.

If you’re interested in donating to either pantry, please bring your items to the Circulation Desks at the Elmsdale & Stewiacke Libraries.

Food must be:

  • Individually wrapped or in unopened containers
  • Labeled
  • Nonperishable
  • Store bought and packaged
  • Undented canned goods (pop-tops preferred)
  • Unexpired

Thank you for your donations!

If you are from an organization looking to make a larger contribution to the Little Free Library, you can contact the Branch Managers:
