PARSIPPANY — After talking with Parsippany-Troy Hills Mayor James Barberio about the Parsippany Food Pantry Korla King, a sophomore at Parsippany Hills High School got an understanding of just how bare the shelves were and how many families in our town that were in need.
Korla decided to try and help. She posted on Face Book and sent emails and texts to family and friends that she was holding a food drive.
For weeks she would post various events she would be attending and asked for donations. After collecting for three weeks Korla was able to donate well over 10 Large boxes filled with food to benefit to Parsippany Food Pantry.
