Sa nararanasan nating pandemya, nagkaroon ang mga tao ng isipin at alinlangan kung paano nila itatawid ang kanilang pamilya sa pang araw-araw na pangangailangan lalo na ang pagkain dahil na rin sa kadahilanan na maraming Pilipino ang nawalan ng hanap buhay. Ngunit sa kabila ng hirap at kawalan ng trabaho, hindi nawalan ng pag-asa ang mga Pilipino. Sa pagtutulungan, ang Community Pantry ay nabuo, ito ay para sa mga kapos at nangangailangan, ito ay para rin sa mga gusto at may kakayahang tumulong. Ito ang nagbigay ng katagang “Mabigay ayon sa Kakayahan, Kumuha batay sa Pangangailangan”. Ito ay nagsimula lamang sa Maginhawa, Quezon City at ngayo’y nagsulputan na sa iba’t-ibang lugar sa Pilipinas at hindi na lang dito sa Pilipinas ngunit nahawaan na rin natin ang ibang bansa katulad ng bansang Laos.
