Madison County Food Pantry Update:
During 2024 the Pantry provided food to 3779 households. Many Pantry customers come for assistance multiple times during the year so the same household could be counted 12 times if they asked for assistance every month. As an “apples to apples” comparison, the numbers are up 2.1% over calendar 2023.
The total number of people who received food from the Pantry in 2024 was 13,378, up 5.3% over 2023.
December 19 and 20 the Pantry held the annual gift card distribution to customers. Gift cards in the amount of $30 and $40 were purchased by the Pantry from Walmart and Kroger as well as an apple pie purchased from Kroger for distribution. This year 277 gift card/pie combinations were distributed which is 60 more than the 2023 distribution.
While not enough to pay for an entire holiday meal, the cards were intended to supplement the customer’s holiday meal, and were well received by the customers.
Thanks to wonderful support from area churches, including FUMC, several local businesses, and many individual donations, much of the $9500 expense for the gift cards was received by the Pantry and is extremely appreciated.
Currently needed items include crackers, bagged/box cereal and canned soup. Monetary donations can be either mailed to the Pantry at 125 South Oak Street, London OH 43140 or by credit card on the Pantry website, www.madisoncountyfoodpantry.org.
