# Little Free Pantry Opens in Upper Arlington for Community Support

On November 12, 2026, the Tri-Village Lions Club and Coventry Senior Living announced the opening of a Little Free Pantry in Upper Arlington. The pantry, located on the northeast corner of the Coventry site, is designed to assist community members facing food insecurity by providing shelf-stable food items for anyone in need.

#### Little Free Pantry Now Available

More than 300 UA households receive SNAP benefits from the federal government, and there are likely more families facing food insecurity that have not completed the necessary paperwork to qualify for this program. To help address this issue, the Tri-Village Lions Club and Coventry Senior Living have teamed up to provide a Little Free Pantry for any community members who are struggling to make ends meet.

Similar to the Little Free Library concept, the food inside is there for the taking by anyone who needs it and will be stocked-in part-by contributions from community members.

The Little Free Pantry is located on the northeast corner of the Coventry site, facing the access road. Anyone can take items from the pantry at any time.

If you would like to contribute to the Little Free Pantry, just drop items off in the box. Please only donate items that are shelf-stable, examples include canned fruits, veggies, soups and proteins, pasta and rice, pasta sauces, peanut butter, baby formula, flour, sugar, condiments, and healthy snacks. No glass jars, and no open packages, please.
