Canton Church's 'Sharing Shelf' Offers Aid To Those In Need

CANTON, CT — A local church has set up a unique way to help those in the community, especially those who are facing economic uncertainty.

The North Canton Community United Methodist Church has installed a "sharing shelf" outside its 3 Cast St. building.

A "sharing shelf" operates similarly to "Little Free Libraries," where users can simply receive a book and, upon return, are supposed to give a book back into circulation.

With a "sharing shelf," folks in need can use it to get food, and folks looking to help can stock it.

The motto is simple: “Take what you need, leave what you can.”

This "sharing shelf" is located on the side entrance to the church.
