We are very proud to introduce this completed community resource! This map connects the Little Food Pantry network with Jefferson Transit bus routes, making it easier for community members to access and support the pantries.
Throughout the school year, students mapped out each of their routes to open, stock, and maintain the pantries using our public transportation system. After months of traveling with this group of Kindergarten and 1st graders, Jefferson Transit invited them to collaborate as “experts.” Students shared their routing process and helped create this map, working together to connect community members to the pantries through our free and accessible transit system.
We are grateful for the incredible drivers and staff at Jefferson Transit who helped make this project possible. We are excited to share this map with our community- please help us spread the word!

In Art this week, students explored color theory by mixing primary colors to achieve the full color spectrum. Science and magic merged as we experimented and joyously created these rainbow bookmarks!
What is more beautiful than all the colors of the rainbow? A community that celebrates them all. Happy Pride! 🌈

This map shows all of the Little Food Pantries located throughout Port Townsend. The kindergarten/1st grade class spent the school year working on this community project. As part of their efforts, they installed 11 pantries across town and created this map to help community members easily locate and access these resources.

The students designed this project with the goal of increasing food accessibility and strengthening community connections. We hope this map serves as a valuable resource for anyone looking to donate to or receive food from a Little Food Pantry.

Coming soon is a second map created in partnership with Jefferson Transit. This map will connect all local bus routes to the Little Food Pantry locations, making it even easier for community members to access these resources using public transportation.

Please share!

Bring what you can, take what you need. 💚

These students had the pleasure of meeting with Mayor Howard at our third pantry, The Nest, where they collectively replenished the pantry while sharing more about their project. Together, they continued an important conversation about creating solutions and ensuring equitable access to resources for those who need them most.
Students also enjoyed learning more about the mayor’s role in our city, her responsibilities, and how local government works to support the community.
A big thank-you to Mayor Amy Howard for taking the time to connect with these young people, inspire their curiosity, and help foster their interest in local government and civic engagement. This opportunity really empowered this next generation of community leaders!

What an amazing experience it was to gather at City Hall this past Monday. The excitement was palpable as families waited together outside, eager for the doors to open. When they finally did, everyone poured in cheering and smiling - such a special moment to be a part of!
It’s not every day you get to accompany your kindergartener or 1st grader to a City Hall meeting and watch them be recognized by the mayor for the work they’ve done in their community.
We feel incredibly proud to be part of a town that values collaboration, compassion, and community care. In a place made up of many different economic backgrounds, and during a time when so many families are navigating uncertainty, these students have shown what it means to come together and expand a network of pantries that will provide equitable access to food for everyone- for our neighbors, by our neighbors.
A heartfelt thank you to Mayor Amy Howard for recognizing this project and helping make this moment so memorable for these kids. This was truly a core memory for both big and small people alike- a moment that celebrated the value of ideas, teamwork, and love for community.

We had an incredible time with Jefferson Transit! Students took the Little Food Pantry project to the Jefferson Transit Headquarters, where they collaborated with the team and shared their process of finding routes, planning trips, and navigating all of the installed food pantries in town through our very own transit center.
Students had a truly special experience in the Board Room, working alongside staff to create a new community map connecting all of the pantries to local bus routes. Coming soon: a map from Jefferson Transit designed to help further connect community members with food resources through our incredible — and free! — transportation system.
Over the past six months, students have gained an incredible amount of knowledge and practical skills while connecting with community members, actively planning trips, and riding buses all over Port Townsend. During this special visit, students also toured the facilities, met the amazing staff members (including the four-legged ones!), and got a behind-the-scenes look at everything it takes to keep the system running smoothly.
We are so grateful to Jefferson Transit for everything they bring to the community. We’ll see you on the bus!
