Free Food Shops: Community, Stories, and Support

By Ieva Patejunaite | Fundraising coordinator

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Our free food shops continue to be places where people find not only food, but also understanding and care. Every day, families, seniors, and individuals facing hardship walk through our doors knowing they will be welcomed with dignity.

Recently, we organized a charity concert dedicated to this project. It was a special evening where music brought people together — and where we shared real stories from our community. Stories about a single father raising two daughters, a lonely elderly person living on a small pension, or a family trying to rebuild their lives after losing their home in a fire.

These stories remind us why free food shops matter so much. Behind every visit is a human being navigating challenges that are often invisible to others. Thanks to your support, when life becomes overwhelming, there is still a place to turn for help.

Your generosity keeps our shelves stocked and our doors open. More importantly, it helps people feel seen, supported, and less alone.

Thank you for being part of this community of care.

With gratitude,
The "Maisto Bankas" Team
