Saturday, December 13 – Porch Pantry Update 🤍

Here is today’s pantry update! I’ve also included a photo of our pantry stock shelf so you can see where we’re at, we are starting to get very limited on some items.

✨ Today the pantry and fridge are restocked and open until 2:00 PM. ✨

If you are able to donate, we are in severe need of:
• Canned meats
• Canned pastas
• Pouch meats
• Easy, ready-to-eat foods

Over the last 72 hours, I’ve had the opportunity to meet several local teenagers who are currently living in very difficult and unstable situations. They’ve stopped by each day, and I’ve been able to give them a couple days’ worth of supplies as best I can. They’ve shared that some of the biggest needs right now are:
• Easy-to-eat foods
• Socks
• Hand warmers
• Thermal blankets
• Regular blankets

Due to the size of my store and pantry, I unfortunately cannot accept used blankets or clothing at this time. However, we can store new, unopened packs of socks and new, unopened blankets in bins for the winter and rotate those items out daily as needed.

I will also be creating an Amazon wish list for the pantry today and will share that link for those who prefer to ship items directly to the store. Several of you have asked for this, thank you.

At this time, there is $40 in Cash App and $25 in Venmo, and I will be using those funds on Monday to purchase cold food items for the porch fridge.

If you’d like to donate — whether items or monetary — we would be so incredibly grateful.

🕊 Donation hours:
Tuesday–Friday: 10:30–5:00
Saturday: 10:30–2:00

You may also donate via Cash App or Venmo at any time. Every single penny donated to this pantry goes directly back into the pantry and into helping members of our community.

I truly cannot thank you enough for helping me continue this blessing. 🤍

🔥 Last Batch of the Year! 🔥
Hey everyone! We’ve just finished straining our final batch of Fire Cider for the year, and it’s officially ready!
We only have a limited number of jars, so if you’ve been waiting to grab one, now’s your chance before they’re gone.

✨ What is Fire Cider?
Fire Cider is a traditional folk remedy made with apple cider vinegar, fresh herbs, roots, and spices—think garlic, onion, horseradish, ginger, hot peppers, and often a touch of honey. This powerful tonic has been used for generations to:
✅ Support the immune system
✅ Warm the body during colder months
✅ Aid in digestion
✅ Help fight off seasonal sniffles

Thank you all for supporting us throughout the year — your enthusiasm keeps us going. As we wrap up this season, we’re sending you warmth, gratitude, and good energy.
Until next time, stay spicy and stay well! 🌶️

🌿 12/9 Porch Pantry Update 🌿

Y’all… The Porch Pantry was used all day and night yesterday!! Word has definitely gotten out, because in the last 48 hours we’ve had so many new community members stop by. What a blessing it is to watch folks take what they need, leave what they can, and support one another. 💛

As of today, here are the items we could truly use the most:

🧊 FREEZER & FRIDGE ITEMS (most needed!)
• Freezer meals
• Hot dogs
• Lunch meat
• Cheese
• Packs of fresh meats
• Boxed milk (Dollar Tree!)

👶 INFANT & BABY ITEMS
• Diapers, wipes
• Formula
• Baby foods

🍲 PANTRY ITEMS
• Canned pasta
• Canned meats
• Hot Hands warmers (I was told Costco has 30-pk boxes on sale!)
• Deodorant
• Coloring books + crayons (for our kiddos!)

We have been so blessed with a steady supply of donations for many other items, and we’ve been able to purchase bulk quantities when needed. We’ve officially turned the stock room into a storage room, it’s crowded, but we’re making it work! 😅

Kyla and I inventory, sort, and store every single item that comes in, and we’re refilling the pantry and fridge throughout the day to make sure your neighbors always have something available.

If you’re able to help with any of the items listed above, we would be so grateful, and so would our community members. 💛

If you’d like to make a monetary donation, I’ve included our Venmo and CashApp in the post. Today I’ll be taking the remaining $100 in our CashApp to buy:

• Boxed milk
• Frozen meals
• Fresh fridge items

The fresh and frozen items go very quickly and are what we receive the least of, so your monetary donations help us keep those stocked every single day.

✨ A tip I learned yesterday:
The local bread store has half loaves for $1 each, I’ll be grabbing more today!

I cannot thank this community enough for keeping this Porch Pantry alive. This is NOT my work alone, this is YOU. Each of you making a difference every single day. 💛

📍 The Porch Pantry is open today from 10:30–5 at
212 Hill Street, LaGrange, GA

After 5 PM, the brown cabinet and fridge will be restocked with limited items for overnight use.
Please take what you need, and leave some for others.

We love you, LaGrange.
Thank you for helping us care for one another. 🌿💛

🌤 12/8 Porch Pantry Update, My Heart is So Full Today! 🌤

Over the weekend our little brown cabinet was used several times, and I am so excited to say that everyone in our community seems to have really settled into the rhythm of taking only what they need and leaving for others.

When I walked in this morning, there were still several items left in the brown cabinet, fresh fruit and produce still in the fridge, and even fresh eggs! This is exactly how the pantry is meant to work, a community blessing, shared by all of us, for all of us. 💛

I also had to share the sweetest blessing from this weekend…
I don’t know this gentleman, but Saturday evening he stopped by the porch pantry, cleaned up the porch, and even took the time to blow all the leaves off the porch and the front parking area. Y’all… talk about kindness! If you see this, Sir, thank you so much for your generosity and for caring about our little community space. You truly blessed us.

This morning I restocked the brown cabinet and the fridge, and I also put out a box of hygiene items for anyone who may need a few things.

📍 Porch Pantry Hours

🗓 Tuesday–Friday • 10:30–5
