ACCESSIBLE Little pantries like this one popped up in San Luis Obispo neighborhoods during the pandemic as a way to help those in need get access to food. Similar to the little library concept, little free pantries aren t unique to the city of San Luis Obispo. Arkansas resident Jessica McClard is credited with the first recorded mini pantry movement.

As a platform for neighbors to help neighbors, the pantries goal is to combat food insecurity on a micro-level.
