Hey neighbors 💛

Our little community pantry is running pretty empty right now. At the moment, we only have canned garbanzo beans, black beans, and collard greens.

If you’re able to donate, we’d be so grateful.

If you’d prefer not to put everything out at once, or if the pantry is already full when you stop by, you can always meet up with us and we’ll help stock items throughout the week while we’re there working.

Thank you for supporting our community!

Afternoon everybody 👋

Just wanted to hop on for a quick moment and say that the food pantry has been getting hit hard the last couple months.

We so appreciate those who are helping!!

We have been adding to it, but full disclosure- we only have granola bars, a few pastas and dry gravy mixes left.

Right now, it should be OK to put canned goods in there , but when it gets back down to freezing, we should probably hold off on the And items and stick to dry goods for a while

Good morning everybody! I just wanna take a moment and say how thankful and grateful I am that the pantry is being continually stocked!!

Just an FYI, for anyone who needs it I put some turkey gravy mixes, some turkey gravy in a jar, and some other basic items for a Thanksgiving dinner up there !

Feel free to grab what you need to finish up your meal or take something to a family that you know could use it!!

Thanks have friends!

Hey all-

We are gathering for some specific things that there’s a few families in town that could really benefit them .

If anybody could help with getting some of these items and reaching out to us, we can figure it out and get them to the families that are needing the specific food !!

Gluten free pasta
Gluten free baking mixes
Gluten free flour

Yes, they can eat some basic things that are in the pantry (canned goods), but gluten-free flour, baking mixes pasta would help them finish up creating meals !

So what do you say, Mason city let’s show these families some community love!!

We have one of the best friends ever — even from across the country! 💛

She bought a house here a few years ago, and while she’s away, we help take care of it. She loves our little town (and our micro food pantry!) so much that she sends us boxes of goodies she finds to help us bless our community from all the way across the USA. 🇺🇸
Kindness really does have no borders!


Boxes 4,5,6, 7 & 8 arrived today!!

🌞 Starting the day with gratitude and positivity! 💛
Someone in our amazing community took it upon themselves to fix the door on our Micro Food Pantry — and we couldn’t be more thankful! 🙌

This is exactly what we hoped for when we started it— neighbors taking ownership, helping keep it stocked, cared for, and ready for anyone in need.
Thank you for showing what community truly means. 💕

Hey friends-
So our micro pantry is getting a lot of use so much so that it is:

1. too small
2. the door has gotten so much use, that it has fallen off .

I will be getting a hold of someone to see if we can get a bigger and a more waterproof pantry .

Until then, please help us keep an eye on the pantry and the food to make sure that the weather doesn’t ruin it

Thank you!

Our little community micro pantry has been emptied almost daily lately — even the dried garbanzo beans are gone.

After overseeing pantries for more than 15+ years, I can tell you that when that happens, it means the need in our area is very real.

This pantry isn’t just “mine” or “yours” — it’s ours. It’s a true community effort, built on kindness, compassion, and the simple belief that no one in our town should go hungry.

Sometimes people just need one ingredient to finish a meal, and sometimes they need a few days’ worth of food to get by — either way, we can help meet that need together.

I’m so thankful for the local gardeners who’ve kept it stocked with beautiful produce all summer.
As the growing season winds down, we’ll be relying more on shelf-stable items — canned goods, pasta, rice, beans, peanut butter, and similar staples.
If you’re able to give a little, please do. Every single item matters — and it truly helps someone right here at home. 💛

🌱 A huge thank you to whoever shared these amazing vegetables on the micro pantry table! 🥕🍅

Families in our community are going to love and enjoy them so much. 💛

Just a little reminder: if you’ve got extra garden produce (especially those tomatoes or veggies you’re tired of dealing with), the micro pantry is the perfect place to share them.

Fresh produce is such a rare treat for many who use this pantry, and it makes a world of difference.

We are so grateful for your generosity — now and for the items that will come in the future. Together, we’re helping neighbors eat well and feel cared for. 🥬✨

Did you know we have a community micro pantry right here in MC?
It’s a simple way for neighbors to help neighbors:
🥫 Bring shelf-stable food
🥒 Leave extra garden produce on the table provided
🤝 Take what you need, give when you can & help pick up “bad” Produce & throw in garbage- not ground!

Every little bit helps keep our community strong — thank you to everyone who has already been helping stock and use it with kindness!

🥫✨ Help Us Keep the Pantry Stocked! ✨🥫
Our little pantry is always busy helping neighbors, and we could use your help keeping it filled! We especially need:
Easy-to-make meals (ready-to-eat or just add water)
Cans with pull-tops
Snacks, single-serve items, and foods that don’t require a lot of pots & pans
🌱 To the left of the pantry you’ll also find a table for fresh produce from local gardens.
👉 If you notice any spoiled produce, please place it in a bag and put it in the dumpster — not on the ground. Thank you!
💛 Just a friendly reminder: this pantry is for shelf stable food only — no household items, pet supplies, toys, or clothing.

Every can, pouch, or box you share makes a real difference. Thank you for helping us care for our community!
