Food Pantries: When Hunger Ends, Hope Begins

Hunger is a reality for thousands of families in central Ohio, but with your support, we’re making a difference. In 2024 alone, The Salvation Army provided:

  • 709,634 meals to individuals and families in need
  • 42,024 people served through our food pantries, produce giveaways, and senior food programs
  • 3,001 senior food boxes delivered to ensure older adults had access to essential nutrition
  • 1,592 meals served through our Lord’s Table and Heart to Heart meal programs

If you or someone you know needs food assistance, our Choice Food Pantries provide pantry staples and nutritious meals tailored to each household’s needs.

To schedule an appointment for one of our choice food pantries, please call:

  • Franklin County: 614.341.2282.
