S1/E3 LITTLE FREE PANTRIES

In 2016, Molly Harmon installed a pantry in her front yard in Seattle, Washington, because she wanted to help feed those in her neighborhood who were experiencing food insecurity. Like the Little Free Libraries, these pantry boxes are located throughout residential neighborhoods, and people contribute when they are able to. In some cases, the pantries are stocked each morning, and found empty by nighttime. 

With the support of many volunteers, Molly has helped build and distribute over 150 pantries across the region. She is hoping that the network of pantries  will grow even more throughout the Northwest region over the next few years, connecting people to each other by way of a shared human need. Join us as we chat with Molly Harmon and Meaghan McClure of Little Free Pantries, and learn more about their tremendous journey.
