The Queenston neighbourhood’s Little Free Food Pantry is now open for use at the corner of Queenston and Townley Streets.
This community project has been set up in response to the food scarcity and insecurity challenges within our greater community. A neighbourhood resident has kindly offered to have the pantry placed on her property, 2810 Queenston St., which offers optimal visibility and pedestrian traffic.
The Little Free Food Pantry concept is similar to that of the Little Free Libraries you see around Victoria. Anyone is welcome to access the food pantry to “take what you need and give what you can”. Donations of non-perishable food items in their original sealed packaging are welcomed – simply place them in the pantry when you are out for a walk. A list of acceptable and recommended items is posted on the side of the pantry.

Your individual food donations are welcomed, and you are encouraged to check for and take items that you may need. Please spread the good word about the Little Free Food Pantry to your neighbours!
