Food for the Mind and the Stomach

 
I saw a Little Free Library in Georgetown, Connecticut.  This is a national program that encourages people to take a free book or leave a free book or both.  There were many Little Free Libraries when I lived in West Hartford, but I haven't seen many in southwest Connecticut.

A few steps away, I saw a structure that looked like a Little Free Library but was for free food.  During Covid, a young Ridgefield girl worried about people with food insecurity.  She encouraged local businesses to put out food cupboards like this.  A local builder loved the idea and started making numerous cupboards and placing them in her name.  A local hardware store donates the materials.
