Community pantry at Subiaco Library

Helping hand at the library.

Subiaco Library is helping those doing it tough through the introduction of a new initiative – the Community Pantry.

The ‘pantry’ is stocked with everyday essentials – such as rice, long-life milk, baby nappies, and tinned goods – to help those who might be struggling to make ends meet to have access to items they may find useful.

The initiative encourages community members to ‘take what you need, give what you can’ to ensure the pantry is always stocked.

Mayor David McMullen said the Community Pantry was a small initiative that has the potential to make a big impact for some people.

“This is a great example of community helping community,” he said
