We continue to see the impact that the last 18 months have had on struggling families in our community. Forty-two percent of the households we served in 2021 were visiting the pantry for the first time.
The economy continues to be a contributing factor to pantry operations. We are facing increased prices and decreased inventory at Mid-Ohio Food Collective. Community support remains critical to provide necessary pantry provisions to many New Albany-Plain Local Schools families.
As always, we are tremendously grateful to our community partners and volunteers whose generosity and dedication allows us to continue operations.
