BAKER CITY – The Baker County Safe Community Coalitions (BCSCC) is looking for property owners who would be willing to host a Sharing Pantry in the South Baker area.
According to BCSCC, “Brick & mortar Food banks have limited hours and capacity. The Sharing Pantry is a safety net to support immediate needs. Anyone may access a Sharing Pantry at any time. Whether you are giving or taking, everyone approaches the Sharing Pantry the same way, mediating the shame that accompanies need.
Sharing Pantry’s are a reminder of our neighbors’ need that creates neighborhood space for exercising compassion, trust, and mutual aid.”
Sharing Pantry are for a hungry kid after school or a home cook who forgot to buy tomatoes. They are for everyone! Our motto is “Take what you need, leave what you can.”
