What’s Your Story? The Little Free Pantry

MONROE, La. (KNOE) - A recent Louisiana Tech graduate has an appetite for serving others.

In 2022, Ethan Jeffus noticed a food insecurity problem within his community. Unwilling to let the problem continue, Ethan decided to start a free food pantry.

“I think the Little Free Pantry has provided an avenue to give,” said Ethan.

It isn’t so little anymore. According to Ethan, 22 other locations now have free pantries.

“The fact that it’s grown this fast shows that it is a need,” Ethan said.

Even though the pantry has grown, Ethan has no plans of slowing down. He intends to go to law school to continue to advocate for others.

In this edition of What’s Your Story?, Emmy-nominated feature reporter Aaron Dietrich highlights how Ethan Jeffus impacted the community.
