Our Mission

The mission of the Hilliard Food Pantry Plus is simple - improve the well-being of our community by providing food and support.

History of the Hilliard Food Pantry Plus

​Founded 60 years ago, we are funded entirely from contributions of individuals, businesses and organizations. The organization formed in 1960 and incorporated in 1963. The original name was the Hilliard Community Welfare Council. Support came from contributions from individuals and organizations, door-to-door solicitation, and fundraisers. The major fundraiser of the time was an annual skating party. For many years, the pantry was housed in what used to be the "Old Jail" in Downtown Hilliard.
