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!

State and national budget decisions are shifting, and they’ll have a real impact on food pantries and human services agencies -  both across the country and here in Worthington.    

Volunteers from Worthington Christian Church have long been a meaningful part of the Worthington Resource Pantry family. For them, giving back is a natural expression of their faith.

Our shelves are looking a little light on protein and easy meals this month. So consider donating some peanut butter, canned tuna, canned chicken or soups. Smaller cans means we can offer it to more families. So bigger isn't always better when donating to the Pantry.

In March, the Pantry served 2,960 families and a total of 11,872 neighbors. That’s 138,792 meals. That number isn’t just large - it’s part of a trend that has stretched on for more than a year and a half. It’s now been 19 consecutive months since we’ve served fewer than 10,000 people in a single month.

After retiring from a small school where she worked as a business manager, Susan Craig knew she wanted to give her time in a way that connected her directly with the community. She found that opportunity at the Pantry, where she volunteers as a shop assistant in the personal care section. It's a role that allows her to meet neighbors face-to-face and help them find exactly what they need.

Spread the word! Donating to the Worthington Resource Pantry is a great way to show some love to your neighbors this Valentine's Day!

Did you know that 1/3 of the food we share each month comes from donations from our supporters? And most of our peanut butter last year came from food drives and individual donations - from people like YOU.

So donate some most needed items yourself or in honor of your 'butter' half.

It was an amazing holiday season at the Worthington Resource Pantry!

You’ve probably heard the news by now: Worthington Resource Pantry is relocating! We’re excited to officially share that we’ll soon call 500 Schrock Road home. Over the last few years, our growth in neighbors served has been so significant that our current space just can’t keep up. This new facility will give us the room and resources we need to better serve our community - and we can’t wait to welcome you there.
