Sylva's Free Little Pantry

Sylva's Free Little Pantry Free Little Pantries provide the community an opportunity to give back and to help our neighbors in need. Welcome to Sylva’s Free Little Pantry!

Sylva's Free Little Pantry is located in front of Lifeway Community Church and is easily accessible to the public.

31 Allen Street- Sylva NC Take what you need, leave what you can, above all, be blessed! What is the Free Little Pantry? Thank you for stopping by! This free little pantry is part of a national movement for communities to help out our neighbors in need! This pantry was donated by Ti

m Crabtree of Franklin, owner of Motor Company Grill and Crabtree General Store, who volunteered his time and talents to construct this beautiful box. The artwork you see on the front and the back was the talent of Emily Moss and Lifeway Community Church was gracious enough to donate this space so the pantry would be in a highly visible, easily accessible location. Who can use the Free Little Pantry? Anyone and everyone who has a need for food or personal items or wishes to donate items are invited and encouraged to use this resource! What can I do to help facilitate the success of the Free Little Pantry? The backbone behind this pantry is our community. Each month individuals, businesses or groups, sponsor the pantry to help keep an eye one it and keep it neat and stocked for our community. It is because of people like you that the things that are needed are available inside. Thank you for thinking of the pantry and helping to donate to fill a need in our community. So please, take what you need and leave the rest for others in need. Donate items when you are able and if the pantry is stocked, Twice as Nice located in Dillsboro collects stocked items! Watch for our “item of the month” for the items most needed at the pantry. Suggested donation items

Thinking about getting sponsors for a week at a time from corporate entities. Filling the box with some staples second or third week of the month. Possibly deductible and with a mention of the donors. We are having more withdrawals than deposits and often the box is emptied as fast as it is filled. This box gets lots of use my friends. Let me know if you would like to pitch in for a week.
