Little Free Pantry at Covenant United Methodist Church

04/08/2026

Never a “good” time to ask for help, but it is necessary NOW, so we will ask.
We are trying to keep up with the growing need for food in this community and are in need of your support. Many may not realize this, however, we receive daily calls and messages from people (neighbors) asking how they can get food to feed themselves and their families. Please donate, if you can, to The Little Free Pantry.
No opened, or expired items, and please DON’T “dump” any unwanted food, containers, bags, or bottles in the pantry.
You may drop off items any time, 24/7 directly in pantry, or at church office on Tuesdays or Wednesdays from 9-2, or use the convenience of ordering directly from our Amazon needs list.

Winter Update from The Little Free Pantry (LFP) at Covenant United Methodist Church

The LFP is experiencing higher demand during these cold and icy winter days. Many families and individuals are struggling with heating costs and food insecurity. Without food, it is difficult to fuel the body and stay warm, which is why our volunteers are committed to keeping the pantry stocked every day with both donated and purchased food.
The icy conditions often provide another layer of challenge in accessing and filling the pantry box, however, as long as we can safely navigate the roads, we will continue with this daily routine.
With the continued help of our kind neighbors and donors, we can fulfill our mission of helping our neighbors who may be struggling during these times.
The Little Free Pantry would like to extend special thanks to these people who have recently reached out to support the pantry by making food and hygiene donations., especially Juan Reyes, Katherine, Allan, Maria-Elizabth Arnold and Peggy.
Please know that without the generosity of known and anonymous community members, the LFP could not exist. It is for this reason that we again reach out to ask for your help. Please donate, if you can.
We are especially in need of these items:

Canned soups and Stews
Ramen Noodles
Rice
Canned vegetables and fruit
Canned Protein (chicken, tuna)
Dried Beans
Peanut Butter and Jelly
Oatmeal
Shelf-stable milk
Personal Hygiene Items (Toothbrushes, Toothpaste, Soap, Shampoo)

Items may be dropped off directly in the pantry anytime as it is open to all 24/7 or brought to church office on Tuesday or Wednesday from 9-2PM. The address is 20301 Pleasant Ridge Dr in Montgomery Village.

Wishing You Warmth and Blessings!
With Gratitude,
The LFP
