Some of y’all may not know there's a closed stewards group on Facebook. Stewards ask for contacts or advice, pass along helpful information, and sometimes vent.

This past week, someone in the group posted about having witnessed the same woman clearing out food at two pantries. The poster was understandably frustrated. Sisyphean tasks can be frustrating (folding clothes?). While an endless task, stocking minis is not, however, futile.

A poem left a Sunnydale Little Pantry of Bellingham, WA, shows why.

The mini pantry movement is as much about love, good neighbors, freely giving without expectations, faith, as it is about food. These things, together, "make it possible for [folks] to survive when it was hard.”
