Shakti in the Mountains wants to help bridge the gap for people who are experiencing food insecurity by increasing the amount of food put into the Little Free Pantry located in front of our building. If you would like to support this effort, then you may purchase non-perishable food to place in the pantry or you may make a donation so that our Shakti Shopper can purchase food.

The Little Free Pantry is one example of reciprocity: a system where resources are shared without paid transactions or debts incurred. At the core of reciprocity is the belief that when you share what you have, then you have what you need. Today you are able to give food. On another day, you may find that you are the person in need of food. Neither position is better than the other, rather the shift between giver and receiver reflects the natural ebb and flow of resources.

Trusting resources to flow where they are needed most is an indication of a healthy ecosystem. Just like a grove of Aspen trees is able to move water through their collective root system to support the trees who need it the most, humans also are capable of moving resources.

I consider this movement of resources, and the subsequent trust, an act of faith, specifically faith in the goodness of humans. Yes, sometimes humans do not behave well - we are messy creatures who make mistakes and who hurt others. Despite our imperfections, I witness generosity among humans more than I witness greed.
