What it is

A House Stocked by the Community, for the Community

The Little Yellow House is a self-serve donation house in Gentryville. It's stocked almost entirely by people from around Spencer County, and it's open to anyone who needs something from the shelves. There's no application, no ID, and no cost. Walk up, take what your household needs, and if you've got extra to give, the shelves are always glad for it.

A Thousand Families, Give or Take

That's about how many families around Spencer County the house helps in a year. Small house, big reach.

Twice-a-Month Deliveries

Volunteers drive essentials out to seniors and neighbors with disabilities twice a month, so nobody who can't make the trip has to.

Run By Neighbors

Just folks from around here, taking turns keeping the shelves stocked for their neighbors.
