Free Food Boxes| Waste To Taste

Waste to Taste is open Monday thru Friday, by appointment only. They work with local restaurants, grocery stores, & farms to rescue food that would otherwise end up in landfills, and get it to people in need. Our free pantry is setup like a grocery store, where shoppers navigate food by aisles, selecting items that their household will be able to use & enjoy.

Little Free Pantries and Community Fridges | Burrito Brigade

Little Free Pantries and Community Fridges: These are small wooden pantries or fridges located around town that are stocked on a weekly basis by neighbors and folks who want to help. They work on a “take what you need, leave what you can” model. Little Free Pantries usually have canned and dry goods, while fridges may include fresh or ready-to-eat foods.
