GPPL has a Little Free Pantry!
Located in the entrance of GPPL, the Little Free Pantry is filled with non-perishables, snack food and drinks, and hygiene items that are free for anyone to take. The pantry is stocked through donations by generous community members, organizations, and local companies. You can donate to the pantry in the following ways:
Thank you for your donations! Every can of food or toothpaste tube helps!
If you are from an organization looking to make a larger contribution to the Little Free Library, you can contact Tara Wiebe, Head of Customer Services, at 780-357-7462 or twiebe@gppl.ca to make arrangements.
