This month we could really use:

Peanut Butter
Cereal
Tuna
Spaghetti
Toothpaste
Diapers - 4 and up
Pads

As we closed out 2025, one thing is clear: this year asked more of our community - and our community delivered.

This month, we’re highlighting one of our newer volunteers who has quickly become a regular at the Pantry. Patrick started volunteering in early October after realizing he wanted to give back more to the community.

When neighbors shop at the Pantry, they count on finding the basics their families rely on every day. As winter settles in and visits continue to climb, a few items move especially quickly off our shelves — and your donations make all the difference.

Registration will begin on Monday, December 1st for our holiday gift programs.

To allow our staff and volunteers time with their families this season, the Pantry will observe the following closures…

Because of your support, we were able to meet a greater need than ever before:

• 1.5 million+ meals served

• 135,563 neighbors supported

• 53,212 children nourished

• 21,804 volunteer hours given

Our impact is so much bigger than just numbers. It’s parents who can put dinner on the table. Kids who have the nutrition they need to grow. Older adults who find relief from rising grocery costs, and neighbors who know they are not alone.

Thank you to the volunteers that make this pop-up pantry possible.

Over the past several weeks, the Pantry and the families who shop with us have felt the whiplash of information about the impact of SNAP funding.

Your donations help keep our shelves stocked with the essentials our neighbors count on. Right now, we could especially use:

• Peanut Butter
|• Cereal
• Tuna
• Diapers (Size 3 and up)
|• Body Wash
• Shampoo
• Pads & Tampons

September is Hunger Action Month, a time when communities across the country come together to raise awareness about food insecurity and take action to end hunger. At Worthington Resource Pantry, we see every day how important this work is - neighbors continue to turn to us for healthy food and essential items, and the need is growing.

August is here and we are needing some personal care items to stock our shelves this month. Hygiene items support good health and promote dignity. They help a child feel confident and ready to learn and help parents strech tight budgets.

When Worthington resident Gary Kiefer dropped off a donation at the pantry earlier this year, a friendly invitation from other volunteers led him to join the team.

Together, we provided 109,629 meals to our community in just one month.

When school doors close for the summer, a hidden struggle quietly begins. In homes across Ohio, children lose access to reliable meals and for many families, the budget strain increases just when help is needed most.

Help us stock our shelves with staples our neighbors need! We can't wait to welcome you to our new location at 500 Schrock Road. Drive around the building to the back and make sure to ring the bell!

We opened the doors to our new Pantry in June and it was a very busy month!
