Pender’s Mini Food Pantry: A Small Space with a Big Mission
The Pender Mini Food Pantry is officially open and ready to serve our community! This little structure—built as an Eagle Scout Project by one of Pender’s Boy Scouts—is a beautiful example of service, compassion, and creativity.
At first glance, it looks a lot like a Little Free Library, but instead of books, it’s stocked with nonperishable food for anyone in need. It’s a simple yet powerful way to share kindness and nourishment in our neighborhood.
📍 Location:
You’ll find the pantry at 12301 Alder Woods Drive, Fairfax, VA 22033—coming from Route 50, it’s the second driveway on the left into Pender, right beside the sidewalk.
🥫 What’s Inside:
As of this writing, the pantry is filled with a wide variety of items, including:

Canned tuna, chicken, chili, and soup
Broth, vegetables, pumpkin, and apple sauce
Shelf-stable milk, peach slices, mandarin oranges, and individual fruit packs
Jello, pudding cups, mac and cheese servings, and mashed potatoes
Coffee, oatmeal, ketchup, gravy packets, and cooking oil

It’s truly a community effort—and every contribution helps keep it going.
💜 How to Help:
Anyone is welcome to take what they need or to donate food items to keep the pantry stocked. When you give, please remember our guiding principle:
Give with dignity. Donate items you’d feel comfortable using yourself.
