Emergency Community Food Pantry Food Drive

All of us are feeling the challenges of rising prices at the grocery. Even more challenges are coming for our food insecure neighbors as new regulations concerning the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) begin to take effect. (And the changes to SNAP and Medicaid will also affect the number of children who can receive free and reduced school lunches.)

As of August 2025, 5,345 individuals in Franklin County receive SNAP benefits – a little over 10% of our population. 2,361 (44%) of those receiving benefits are children under the age of 18. 725 (13.5%) of the recipients are 60 or older.

As these families deal with increased costs and possibly reduced or eliminated food assistance, they will be turning to all of us for more help putting food on their tables or in their backpacks.

Please participate in the Interfaith Food Drive in October!

Help us stock the shelves!
