Seattle’s grassroots food pantries just got easier to find
Thursday, 14 May, 2026
You can find little free food pantries all around Seattle neighborhoods. They’re a great place to stock up on a few things or to donate ingredients to a neighbor. Researchers at the University of Washington just launched an app to help people find and fill the pantries. They’re hoping to reduce food waste and make these "micropantries" more efficient. I talk with Giacomo Dalla Chiara, one of the researchers behind the project. We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us. Tap here to make a gift and keep Seattle Now in your feed.
