What we do

We provide a three-day emergency or supplemental supply of food per household, consisting of shelf-stable goods, with fresh produce, bread, eggs, and frozen protein, as available. Eligible households can receive food aid once a month.

We serve from the Athens County Department of Job and Family Services building outside Chauncey. The Food Pantry delivers food occasionally at two other locations when needed, and through our “On the Road” Program.

How we serve our clients

An important aspect of our service to the community is continual evaluation of how we can use our donors’ dollars to best meet the needs of our clients. In Athens County, particularly with COVID, we are still seeing significant unemployment and underemployment, a lack of reliable transportation keeping many from earning livable wages, coupled with high housing and utility costs which directly result in more and more underfed people.

Our aim is to understand the needs of those we serve as our friends and neighbors. That’s why we’re continually fine-tuning our program to ensure that we are maximizing the impact of our funds and that we are providing an ever-growing number of clients not only with the staples, but with healthier, fresher food choices as well.
