Rising From the Ashes: The Latest Updates on the Fire at the Pantry
Tuesday, October 31, 2023
In the three months since the fire, we've had more and more people come through the doors at our temporary food pantry at Guide Church. In September alone, we served 1,059 families, including 238 new families! The need for our services continues to grow at an astonishing rate. We've quickly outgrown the space that Guide Church has generously provided for our use. We are so grateful to Guide Church for the gift of their space and their hospitality. It was truly remarkable that they opened their doors to us so quickly after the fire. Thank you, Guide Church!
To better accommodate the growing needs of the community while we await the rebuild at LCC, we will be moving to a new interim home at Hilliard United Methodist Church's Warehouse 839 at 3691 Main Street. (View map).
Our first official service date at Warehouse 839 will be Tuesday, October 31. There will be no disruption to services.
Next time you're in the area, stop by and check out our new temporary home!

On Sunday, July 9, the warehouse adjoining the pantry had a fire. No one was hurt. This fire destroyed the warehouse (where we store things) and caused water and smoke damage in the pantry. All food is damaged and cannot be distributed. Consequently, we are a pantry without food.
We purchase food from Mid-Ohio Food Collective at a reduced cost. Dollars always stretch further--but all food and personal care donations are welcome and needed. Lastly, we are certain we will have costs associated with the fire. Any help you can give is much appreciated.
Check here and on Facebook to get up-to-the-minute updates. Thanks for understanding.
