I’ve been made aware that some community members who stop by have been yelled at or confronted by a nearby business. We have already talked to them and are going to the next steps. I want to be very clear:
👉 No one has permission to question, monitor, or police who takes from the pantry or how much they take.
👉 If you are in need, you are welcome here — full stop.
The Wishing Well runs on trust, dignity, and compassion. We don’t ask for names, stories, or explanations. Life is complicated, and sometimes people who look like they have enough are the ones silently struggling the most.
If you ever feel uncomfortable or are approached while using the pantry, please reach out to me directly.
No one should be shamed for needing support.
Thank you to everyone who continues to fill, restock, and uplift this little project.
Let’s keep this space safe, kind, and judgment-free.
