Little Free Pantry Added To Cranford Church: Take Or Donate Food

CRANFORD, NJ —Do you want to donate food, or do you need more? You can drive by Cranford United Methodist Church and check out the new Little Free Pantry.

The pantry also stocks toiletries and school supplies.

Built by Josh Schwartz as his Eagle Scout project, the pantry is open 24/7 for anyone who needs or wants to donate food.

To attain the rank of Eagle Scout, scouts have to complete a public service project and several important tasks before their 18th birthday, including being active in Boy Scouts, displaying "Scout spirit," attaining merit badges, and more. This year, for the first time, young women can also apply.

If you want to donate to the Little Free Pantry, kindly leave only:

• Non-perishables that are not expired (cans and other items that are well sealed and not able to be altered by the weather)
• Boxes with interior wraps only
• Paper Goods
• Personal Hygiene Products
• School supplies

The church is located at 201 Lincoln Avenue East.
