The backpack program fills the gap left on weekends when children do not have access to after-school breakfasts and/or lunches. This program focuses on distributing nutritious, easy to prepare food to children at risk of hunger. Presently, this program is only for students in the Lima City Elementary Schools. Help pack the bags or hold a food drive to supply children with weekend meals.

Mission Statement
The West Ohio Food Bank is a nonprofit service organization dedicated to alleviating hunger in the West Ohio area by uniting the public and private sectors in raising awareness of hunger needs. Our primary commitment to the eleven counties we serve is to find, rescue, and distribute food to hungry people through an efficient network of charities.
Description
We are not a pantry, soup kitchen or shelter. We are in fact the charity that provides food to more than 170 food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters throughout 11 counties in Western Ohio. We purchase food and collect donated items, which we store in our 35,000 square foot facility. Most "pantries" do not have the space to store a truckload of fresh, frozen or perishable food.
