The pantry in Bridgewater is open 24/7 and is stocked by members of the community

Eighteen-year-old Shailee Shah created her first Little Free Pantry -- basically like a Free Little Library, except with food and other basic necessities -- in 2018, at her Middle School in Edison before she moved to Hillsborough. Since then, pantries have been set up at two more locations, in front of the Somerville YMCA in January 2020 and in front of the Bridgewater YMCA about a month ago.
