Free Mini Pantry

The Niles Township Coming Together project sought to address the impact of COVID-19 on many people. In shining a spotlight on food insecurity, the project encouraged those in our community to install their own mini-food pantries where donors can leave non-perishable food and those in need can pick food up at any time. St. Peter’s ordered and installed food pantry to hold food for those in need. 

Our pantry is very active, and we deeply appreciate those who donate regularly. If you would like to participate, you can add food items to the pantry at any time. Please ONLY leave un-expired items, and please do not leave items that can spoil easily or melt, like lunchmeat or butter (yes, that has happened). Suggested items include: 

Peanut butter, Canned goods like soup, fruit, vegetables, stew, beans, and meat (tuna, chicken, sausages), pasta (most prefer whole grain), and rice (most prefer brown rice).

 

Items not needed include:

tea, ramen noodles, cut green beans, leftovers in containers (not sealed by a machine), baked goods
