We partner with Mid-Ohio Foodbank, local grocers and organizations to stock our pantry, and offer a 5-day supply of food on each visit.

In addition to food programs, we also distribute backpacks stuffed with school supplies in August, and Christmas toys for children up to 12 years old in December. Our addition food programs include: an Easter dinner package, a Thanksgiving dinner package, AARP Free Tax Prep, rent and utility assistance and a monthly CSFP food box for senior citizens (60+).
