Have you seen this Free Community Pantry in Downtown Champaign?

There’s a community pantry near the corner of East Washington Street and Neil.

If you are in need, this is just one of the Free Little Pantries in C-U available to you. 

If you are able, the next time you’re in Downtown Champaign for curbside pickup, going to dinner out, or at the Champaign Farmers’ Market, consider bringing a few items to donate to this community pantry. It’s right across the street from the North end of Neil and Washington parking lot.
