Thanks WSYX ABC 6 for visiting us today and helping share the story of the incredible work we have been able to do in our new building.

A Worthington food pantry marked a milestone this week, celebrating one year in its new location along Schrock Road while continuing its mission to help feed pe

In the past year we have served 2 million meals - that is more that we served in our first ten years as a food pantry. Thank you 10TV - WBNS for helping us share this story as we celebrate one year in our new location.

In the last year alone, the pantry has served 2 million meals. That’s double what the pantry served in the last 10 years.

These generous KeyBank employees used their Neighbors Make the Difference day to make a difference for our youngest neighbors! They got right to work with our June ServeOhio project and helped with the assembly of 1,000 summer fun kits for our youngest neighbors.

We can't wait to share them as we celebrate one year in our new location.

Two MILLION meals separate these pictures.

One year ago, we opened the doors at 500 Schrock Road with a lot of excitement, a lot of hope, and a little nervous energy.

We knew we needed more space to serve our neighbors with dignity and choice. What we didn't know was just how much our community would accomplish together in the year ahead.

Since opening, we've welcomed 37,134 families, provided food for more than 2 million meals, delivered groceries to 3,053 families, shared 40,000 boxes of cereal and 450,000 eggs, and rescued millions of pounds of food that would have otherwise gone to waste.

The building may be bigger, but what stands out most is the people. The neighbors who trust us, the volunteers who show up week after week, and the community that continues to answer every call for help.

We are filled with gratitude for an amazing first year and know that we are ready for whatever comes next because of your amazing support.

Follow along this week as we celebrate ONE YEAR HERE!

Our shelves are moving fast this summer.

As more neighbors turn to the Pantry for help with groceries and essentials, these are the items we need most right now:

Peanut Butter
🥣 Cereal
🐟 Tuna
🧴 Shampoo
✨ Deodorant
🍼 Diapers (Size 4 and up)
❤️ Pads

Personal care items and diapers cannot be purchased with SNAP benefits, which means many families are already making impossible choices between food and everyday essentials.

Donations can be dropped off at:
500 Schrock Rd
Columbus, OH 43229

You can also shop our Amazon Wish List (link in bio) and send items directly to the Pantry.

Last weekend, our Pantry was full of young people learning what it means to care for their community in a real and hands on way. 💚

Thanks to an incredible partnership with Seeds of Caring Columbus , 37 volunteers, spent their afternoon assembling Keep Cool Kits for neighbors and helping wrap diapers for families visiting the Pantry.

These kind kids were also able to help us package our diaper donations so we would be ready to serve neighbors this week.

We are so grateful to Seeds of Caring, the families who joined in, and every young person who spent part of their weekend helping neighbors they may never meet.

Look out for more opportunities with Seeds of Caring soon!

We’re honored to be selected as a beneficiary of the Kroger Columbus Fight Hunger Bag Program for June and July 2026.

Participating Kroger locations:

We are almost ready to celebrate our first year here...

But before those celebrations begin, we need to wish a happy birthday to our Operations Manager, James.

We hope you have a day as great as you are!

Last week during a staff meeting, we got some tough news: our diaper delivery would be delayed by more than a week, and our shelves were nearly empty.

So we did what we always do. We told the truth and asked our community for help.

By Thursday afternoon, donations were already pouring in. On Friday, an Amazon delivery driver called ahead to warn us he had an entire truckload of diapers to unload. Deliveries kept coming all weekend and throughout this week.

It has been overwhelming in the best possible way.

We are so grateful for every single package, donation, share, and kind message. You helped make sure families could continue getting the diapers they needed without interruption.

At the same time, we want to be honest about what we are seeing right now. We are continuing to serve record numbers of neighbors, and these donations will move almost as quickly as they arrived.

Rising gas prices, food costs, and utility bills are stretching already tight budgets even further. More families are finding themselves needing help for the first time, while many longtime neighbors are needing support more often.

Your support is keeping this community going right now. From the BOTTOM of our hearts, thank you for showing up the way you always do. ❤️
