About Us

Who We Are

The Athens County Food Pantry (ACFP) is an all volunteer not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization governed by a Board of Directors. Federal Tax Identification Number (EIN) #34-1313139.

Our dedicated group of over 25 volunteers comes together to handle the numerous tasks required to operate the Pantry and to make sure that food is always available for people in need. We depend on support from the local community, through individual and group donations, fundraisers, grants and United Appeal for Athens County.

We thank our community, our churches, and United Appeal for supporting our mission.

A Simple Goal

The Athens County Food Pantry was first conceived in early 1980 with the Athens County Ministerial Association. Shortly thereafter, in July of 1980, the food pantry opened and began serving the Athens County Community with direct food assistance for families in need. Approximately 816 people were fed that first year, with an average monthly budget of just $267.

We've inhabited many locations throughout the county, had many committed volunteers, and faced many challenges but throughout, our one goal has remained the same: to help feed our community.
