Gibbon’s Little Free Pantry has new home

Wed, 07/23/2025 - 1:56pm

Gibbon’s Little Free Pantry has found a new home in the community. After being located near the parking lot of the Gibbon Baptist Church for several years, the pantry has been relocated to Rosen Park with the help of the City of Gibbon and city administrator Matt Smallcomb’s parks crew. Food and toiletry items may be placed to share in the pantry at any time and those in need are encouraged to “Take what they need and give what they can.” The pantry is unable to accept clothing or household items.
