A tiny food pantry in Overland Park is hoping to expand and serve more people. “Extension cords running across the yard,” said Jennifer Parker, of the Tiny Pantry Times. Parker admits the early months of her tiny neighborhood food pantry were interesting. “It looked really tacky,” she said. But it did the trick, and she said her little space in Overland Park quickly became a popular stop to drop off food donations and a lifeline to those in the community who needed the help. “They’re holding down multiple jobs, but they’ve got families to feed,” she said. Parker said that nearly three tons of donations go in and out of this 35-foot-square box monthly and storage has become an issue.
