Volunteers say the pantry served about 200 people each week.
The free pantry at the Central Library started in fall 2020 as a service project for a local Boy Scout working toward his Eagle Scout rank. In the years since, local volunteers like Davis, 56, cleaned, stocked and monitored the pantry. The shelves are restocked with donations daily due to the popularity of the location, Davis said.“The library is already a resource for people who have financial or food insecurity,” she said.
On Thursday, the pantry’s last day of operation, a middle-aged woman named Gladys carefully placed some items from the shelves into her purse before entering the library.
