Three Winnipeg schools are taking the initiative to help keep families feed during the COVID-19 pandemic. They transformed their Little Free Libraries, which sit at the front schools into a Little Free Pantry.

Bairdmore School @ 700 Bairdmore Blvd
Chancellor School @ 1520 Chancellor Dr
Ralph Maybank School @ 20 Donnelly St

In addition, the following schools also have a partial pantry in their little free library:
R.H.G. Bonnycastle School @ 1100 Chancellor Dr
General Byng School @ 1250 Beaumont St
Ryerson Elementary @ 10 Ryerson Ave

Other Little Libraries (
510 St Johns Ave
503 Gilmore Ave

The pantries are there to provide food and other dry goods to the community at all times of the day. People are invited to take one or more items from the pantry, while others can leave canned goods that they wish to donate.
