We’ll also gladly accept any unexpired nonperishable donations, fresh produce, bread, and hygiene products.

Little Free Pantry on Skokorat in Seymour shares wishlist

It’s that time of the week when we share our wishlist. 

This week we are changing things up and sharing what we DO have in stock because it’s not a lot of variety:

Shelf stable milk & canned vegetables (mostly corn and green beans)

That means we will happily and GRATEFULLY accept ANY nonperishable donations. Donor’s choice. 

We also appreciate bread, produce, and hygiene product donations. 

To make things a little easier, we have updated our Amazon Wishlist.

Little Free Pantry on Skokorat seeks collaboration, promotes All In for Seymour

SEYMOUR - Thanks to your support, last month we [at Little Free Pantry on Skokorat] distributed over 3,217 lbs of food.

With the volume of food we’re moving, we’d love to tell you we’ve been able to keep the pantry consistently well supplied.

However that, unfortunately, just isn’t the case. We’ve had SO MANY generous donations in the form of shipments, drop offs, and even fresh eggs. It all goes as quickly as it comes in.

FORTY percent of our neighbors in Seymour are struggling to meet their basic needs. That’s almost one in two. With the temperatures dropping we are expecting the traffic at the pantry to continue to increase.

This is why we mean it when we say EVERY DONATION MATTERS. No bit of kindness is ever wasted here.

If you are an organization, business, group, or family who would like to adopt filling the pantry for a day, host a food drive, or have a collection box please let us know.

We would love to collaborate with you to help meet the steady increase in demand!

If you would like to be a part of helping to solve the problem of food insecurity or find a way to be more active in the town, please join us at our next ALL IN for Seymour meeting on Tuesday, Nov.14 at 6 p.m. at Seymour Congregational Church.

Just a reminder that our consistently most needed items are:

PROTEINS (tuna, chicken, salmon, nuts)

microwave meals (Hormel, chef Boyardee, instant Mac and cheese)

pasta & sauce

canned vegetables

snacks (popcorn, crackers, granola bars)

We will also gladly accept fresh produce, including from your gardens.

Hygiene products like tooth brushes, tooth paste, soap, pads/tampons, and shampoo are also always needed and deeply appreciated.

You can drop off items in person by either placing them directly into the Pantry or into the black donation bin by our garage door. You can also order through our Amazon Wishlist https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/31DQMG6QQ65HX.... OR you can have items shipped or delivered to 58 Skokorat St.
