Since 1981, the Food Pantry Network of Licking County has been a beacon of hope for families facing food insecurity. With over four decades of dedicated service, we've continuously adapted to meet the evolving needs of our community. We are equipped to provide 3,000 meals each day, and we can provide food immediately with proper documentation.
As the demand for our services grows, so does our resolve to meet it. We are actively accepting funds and food donations. When you donate to us, we turn $1 into $11 worth of groceries with help from our corporate partners. With a donation of just $25, you can feed a family of four for a week.
