Polaroid photograph of a community food pantry on Hale Avenue, just east of Brooklyn Avenue, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It was placed there by Saint Joseph Catholic Church, which is visible across the street. I made this photograph late in the evening right before sunset.
These metal cabinets allow those in need to take food from them, and those wanting to help the hungry can donate food by simply placing it in the cabinet. A number of them have appeared in Fort Wayne, placed by businesses, churches, and homeowners on their property. Many of them are painted with colorful designs.
The concept is similar to that of the Little Free Library boxes that allow people to give and take books.
