Nestled near the historic Crescent Park Looff Carousel in Riverside, RI, the New England Witches Guild’s Little Free Pantry is a shining example of community spirit and generosity. This grassroots initiative reflects the Guild’s dedication to supporting neighbors and fostering a culture of kindness.
The Little Free Pantry is a small, accessible space stocked with non-perishable food and other everyday essentials. Operating on the honor system—“Take what you need, leave what you can”—the pantry ensures that anyone in need can access support without judgment or barriers.
Volunteers from the New England Witches Guild regularly maintain and restock the pantry, ensuring it remains welcoming and fully stocked. Their efforts are part of the Guild’s broader mission to promote inclusivity, compassion, and active community engagement.
The Little Free Pantry is conveniently located next to a senior housing complex in the Crescent Park Carousel parking lot, serving a diverse mix of neighbors. Crescent Park itself hosts numerous events and festivals throughout the year, including the New England Witches Guild’s own annual Halloween Parade and Festival, further reinforcing the sense of community and shared purpose.
How You Can Help
The success of the Little Free Pantry relies on the generosity of individuals who are willing to donate items or their time. If you’re in the Riverside area, consider stopping by to contribute or take what you need. Donations of non-perishable food and other essentials are always appreciated.
