2008 Operation Feed Facts
Operation Feed of Licking County is a community-wide food drive which coordinates and promotes the collection of food from employees and Licking County residents to feed those in need during times of emergency. The food will be stocked at the Food Pantry Network of Licking County and distributed to member pantries and social service organizations that supply emergency meals for people who are hungry. 2008 is the eighteenth year that an Operation Feed campaign will be conducted in Licking County.

Do we need Operation Feed?
YES! Although Licking County is a prosperous community, there are many people who find themselves in difficult situations and in need of receiving emergency food distribution. In 2007, the member agencies of the Food Pantry Network of Licking County had served 622,275 meals to 84,375 individuals. Approximately 50% of the recipients are children and infants who have no control over their situation. In 2008 we project an increase in the emergency food necessary to supply those in need in Licking County.

How will the campaign be run?
Each participating company or organization will be asked to appoint one of its employees as a coordinator. This person will be responsible for organizing the food campaign for the company or organization, which can be fun, exciting, and novel. However, the main goal is to collect food for the needy. Orientation will be provided to all coordinators by Operation Feed sponsors.
