On Wednesday, January 11 more than 35 people representing Pantry volunteers, local churches, organizations and funders gathered for the “Blessing of the Food” before opening the doors to the public for the first time (see image below).
Renaming the Pantry to reflect COMMUNITY indicates our commitment to serve not only those living in the Canal Winchester School District but also those living in Lithopolis, Carroll and underserved rural areas of Fairfield County. For those in need, the Pantry operates on an appointment basis only by calling the Pantry Voice Mail at 614-464-6811. Guidelines are available CLICK HERE. Appointments are available on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1:00pm – 3:00pm, except for the 2nd and 4th Wednesday when the Pantry is open from 4:00pm – 6:00pm.
While the Pantry works in cooperation with the Mid-Ohio Food Bank, financial contributions and donations of food and household items are always needed. Financial donations can be made to Canal Winchester Human Services, 22 South Trine Street, Canal Winchester. Food and household donations will continue to be collected at David’s United Church of Christ (80 West Columbus Street) and at the Community Center (22 South Trine). Donations are also gratefully accepted at the Pantry during appointment hours.
