The Caring Cottage, also known as The Little Free Pantry is on the corner of 1st and Park. It is open 24/7 for take what you need or leave what you can. I stopped to donate some food and had the opportunity to meet and speak with the Owner, Bethany. She was super nice and explained a little bit about what she does. Food is there for FREE for anyone in need. Donations ar always welcome. If it wont fit in the Pantry, please leave donations on the Porch. Bethany stores overstock inside in Bins and stocks the Pantry 3 times per day. For selflessly helping others in need and being an incredible person and asset to Fond du Lac, The Caring Cottage is this weeks Hometown Hero!
