Look who showed up today. 🙌
One of our badass powerlifting team members and their mom rolled up with an incredible haul for the Shame Free Pantry out front of Catalyst — and the shelves are full again, at least for a minute.
Because here’s the truth: we’re refilling this thing and watching it empty out multiple times a day, whenever we’ve got the supplies to keep up. That’s not a complaint — that’s just what it means to live in a neighborhood where people need each other. We take care of us.
If you’ve got it in you to help keep it stocked, here’s what our neighbors are asking for most:
Food
- Canned goods with pull tabs (soups, beans, tuna, chicken, fruit, veggies)
- Nut or sunflower butter, especially individual pouches
- Goober PB&J mix
- Snack bars, granola bars, protein bars
- Crackers, dried fruit, trail mix
- Single-serve cereal or oatmeal cups
- Pop-top ravioli
- Fruit cups, applesauce pouches
Non-food essentials
- Socks
- Hygiene items (menstrual products, travel toothpaste/toothbrush, wipes, deodorant)
- Hand sanitizer, band-aids, basic first aid
- Ziploc bags or small containers
Pet items
- Cat food
- Dog food
Drop-offs welcome anytime — message us here or on IG to coordinate, or swing by during open hours Thursdays, 8am–5pm.
Thank you to our powerlifting fam for showing up like this. This is what it looks like when a gym is more than a gym. Thank you for being part of that. 💜
