In October, we served 3,753 household visits to the Worthington Resource Pantry, our busiest month ever.**
That’s higher than the height of the COVID pandemic and even higher than during the SNAP benefit pause. What once felt like an extraordinary level of need has become part of our everyday work.
Still, our community keeps showing up. People organize collections at work, add donations to their grocery orders, and give what they can. That generosity helps neighbors bring home healthy food and leaves a little more room in their budgets for other essentials.
Keeping up with this need will take all of us. If you have room to help, please consider hosting a food drive or making a donation. Every contribution helps keep the Pantry ready for the next neighbor who walks through our doors.
