Story
Share your Food
Perspective with us!

Your lived experience – your zip code, income, the status of your health, quality of the education you have access to, and your network of support – shapes your point-of-view on food. The food perspective is where food and life intersect.

We’d love to hear from YOU - to learn more about your food perspective, or perspectives, because you may have one for each of the many hats you wear each day.

Story
Rooted in You

Two years ago, the Mid-Ohio Food Collective began working on a comprehensive strategy to build smart, customer-centric solutions to address hunger and its root causes. Now YOU can become part of that work.

We can help you find help.

We all need a little help sometimes. And good neighbors help one another. We’re here to offer pathways for when ‘life’ happens. If you need a helping hand for you and your family, start here.
We can show you where to go.

Get Involved in any
(and every) way.

We know how to get you involved. We’d love for you to come volunteer your time with us; or donate money or food. We’re always looking for people who are willing to lend a hand. You could roll up your sleeves beside a chef, a gardener, a student, or warehouse worker. The best part is, what you give makes a big difference.

Customer Gives Back

MOFC Community Pantry

Stories from neighbors.

“I paid my rent, put gas in my car and that left me with seven dollars. This food will get me to my next paycheck. I was working two jobs before all of this and have never had to ask for help… ever.”

She then, quietly and without fanfare, handed the volunteer her remaining $7.00, and said she wanted to donate the money to help others.”

Volunteer to show our neighbors they're valued.

Guardsman in need

MOFC Community Pantry

Stories from neighbors.

"A young guardsman, serving at MOFC distributing food due to COVID-19, had asked me for a bit of food to take home to his family. He had gone home over the weekend to find just a carton of eggs in his parent's fridge. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, his parents did not have enough money to eat."

Donate today, so that no one goes hungry.
