Dear Friends,

Looking back on 2026, we are filled with deep gratitude for this community.  It was a landmark year for the Worthington Resource Pantry. Thanks to your support, we navigated challenging times and served more neighbors than ever before, while we deepened our commitment to sharing fresh, healthy food choices in our region.  

2026 was a year of unprecedented reach.  As families navigated rising costs and shrinking safety nets, the Pantry provided more than 1.8 million meals to 33,835 households.  Much like a meal shared with loved ones, the Pantry is a place where resources can be shared, stories can be told, and where we can be welcomed by people who are glad we are here.  

Our 2026 Community Impact Report shares the stories of neighbors, volunteers, and supporters.  It’s all together that the mission of the Worthington Resource Pantry is realized.  It takes all of us!

Demand for the Pantry remains at record levels, but we face the future with confidence because we know we do not stand alone.  Every volunteer hour, food drive, and financial gift keeps our doors open and our shelves stocked.  

Our commitment remains simple: welcoming with dignity, offering fresh choices, and ensuring every neighbor can access the food and resources they need to thrive.  

Thank you for making 2026 a year of extraordinary impact.
