Another way we aim to help create a supportive community, is by having multiple pantries around our space for various needs.
We have a Tampa Period Pantry with free menstrual products, a mutual-aid pantry with free food and toiletries which is provided to us by Indivisible Polk, and a free pet food and supplies pantry. All of our pantries are free for those who need it, no questions asked just come and take anything you need. Our pantries are supplied by donations, feel free to donate if you are able. No donation is ever turned away.
In addition to our pantries, we have a free book library outside where you can take or leave a book, and a recycle sneaker project which is where we collect any shoes you have no need for. Useable sneakers are given to folks in need throughout the U.S. and what is not wearable is broken down and reused into several products.
We also have an art wall full of pieces for sale by local artists. There is so much talent in Polk County, but there was nowhere for artists to display their work for free, so we decided we would be that place. Artists that put their artwork on our wall do so at no cost. Contact us about putting up your artwork, we rotate the artwork available!
