Donate to Our Little Free Pantry
Help keep the BAUUC Little Free Pantry stocked with food and essential supplies for our neighbors in need! Our Amazon Donation List featurescommonly needed items that can be shipped directly to the church. The quantities listed reflect ongoing needs, not how much we need right now. You don’t need to purchase all 10 of any item. Donations of any quantity are appreciated!
You can also purchase items locally and place them directly in the pantry. Please choose shelf-stable foods that require no refrigeration and are easy to open and eat without cooking or heating, such as pull-tab canned meals, tuna, fruit cups, and ready-to-eat foods. Every donation makes a difference!
