Food Pantry
The Broad Street Food Pantry is dedicated to providing food to our urban neighbors who are hungry. Addressing the most basic human need, we help individuals and families put meals on their tables—providing food for their bodies, relief to their minds, and nourishment for their souls. We believe that engaging with and investing in our local community provides immeasurable return. We dedicate our resources to nurturing our neighbors in need.
In 2010, the Food Pantry:
- Served more than 18,700 individuals
- Provided nearly 281,000 meals
- An average of 5,400 meals per week!
That’s a 49.7% increase in meals served since 2006. And the need in our community continues to grow. The continued outreach of the Broad Street Food Pantry is dependent upon the generosity of our local community.
Market Time
The Broad Street Food Pantry is partnering with Mid-Ohio FoodBank to provide free, fresh produce to all income-eligible families. Produce is essential for a healthy diet but often prohibitively expensive or difficult to find. Every second and fourth Wednesday from August to October, MOFB delivers 10,000-20,000 pounds of fresh produce – most of which was grown here in Ohio – to Broad Street. With the help of amazing volunteers, the Food Pantry is able to provide 30-50 pounds of fresh produce to 150-200 families each market day. The little bit we have leftover is shared with other pantries and agencies that care for the homeless.
We have had great sucess with this program, especially when you look at the numbers.
