MAUMELLE, Ark. Pastors in central Arkansas said that the “Little Free Pantries” that have been popping up in the area are in desperate need of donations. The movement has been going on for years now, but they said that since the pandemic, the need has been higher.
“I think the need has increased with the pandemic, but the need has always been there,” said Marabeth Jaques, wife of Pastor William Jaques at First Baptist Church of Maumelle.
