If you have the appropriate permissions, avoid siting in an easement, and keep your mini pantry in good condition, you are not likely to have issues. You may choose to purchase personal or commercial liability insurance; however, most mini pantry stewards do not. (Homeowner’s policies typically contain coverage for other structures, and this line item cannot be deleted.)

The Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act (42 USCA § 1791), in most situations, protects from civil and criminal liability those who donate food products to a nonprofit organization for distribution to needy individuals. Establishing or donating to an affiliated Little Free Pantry project is not a guarantee of protection from liability under this law. If you have specific questions about liability or any applicable regulations to a Little Free Pantry in your area, you should consult an attorney.
