Items We Need

STOCK UP THE PANTRY FOR OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
  • A “Shopping List” of Essential Items

    YOU CAN PROVIDE MUCH NEEDED ITEMS TO SOME VERY SPECIAL FAMILIES!
  • Food insecurity affects 1 out of every 4 children in Ohio, which means at some point in the past year, they did not know from where their next meal would come. Food insecurity leaves children vulnerable to poor health, stunted development, behavioral issues and social difficulties.

    With 41% of our families at or below the poverty line, the pantry at The Center is essential. Our families are welcome to pick up groceries, diapers, clothes and gift cards anytime they need throughout the year

  • Donate items to The Center

    Monday – Friday
    7:30AM – 4:00PM
