Little Free Pantry

Banff Public Library is pleased to offer a Little Free Pantry to those in need.

Food items in the Little Free Pantry are packaged and non-perishable. We also receive the occasional supply of bread from the Banff Food Rescue.

On the Little Free Pantry shelf, we also stock hygiene products such as soap, shampoo, deodorant, and feminine hygiene products.  

Community partnerships with the Banff Food Rescue, donations from residents of Banff and community grants such as the Municipal Community Wellbeing grants, helps us keep the Little Free Pantry stocked.

For more information about our Community Wellness Programs, please contact us by phone at 403.762.2661 or by email at director@banfflibrary.ab.ca.
