KEPTA is proud to announce the opening of a new community resource! There is now a Little Free Food Pantry and Little Free Read in Color Library located across from the Fire Department. 18118 73rd Ave NE in Kenmore, across from the Fire Station, at Mary’s Place.
Take what you need, give what you can.
We thank Northshore Foundation, Arts of Kenmore, KE Artist Isabel, Little Free Pantries, Nourishing Networks, the City of Kenmore, Mary’s Place, Sherwin-Williams Paint Store in Kenmore, and the KEPTA Racial and Educational Justice Committee for making this collaborative effort come together!
We are Kenmore!!!

Thank you for contributing to our community!
Library
It is important to note that the KEPTA Community Read in Color Shared Library is an official ‘Read in Color’ library, which is an initiative to increase access to diverse books. We would love donations, but prefer to stock our library with books that provide perspectives on racism and social justice; celebrate BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized voices; and incorporate experiences from all identities for all readers. We also stock the sharing library with Spanish books since many of our students speak Spanish at home.
For more information, please email our social services chair.
