Worthington Food Pantry and Resource Center
Where caring, compassion and love come together
The Worthington Food Pantry and Resource Center is a community wide initiative under the
auspices of the Healthy Worthington Coalition, Inc. and its Food for Families program. The
Task Force first met in February, 2009 and we are inviting you to join with us to address the
growing food and basic needs of our local residents.
We currently support the Worthington Food Pantry through our volunteers and donations, made through our 'Bag of Blessings' program. Through this program, we were fortunate enough to be able to provide the Worthington Food Pantry enough 'start-up' food to begin operations. We plan to continue supporting this program by making them a regularly scheduled recipient of the 'Bag of Blessings.' But more help is needed, please continue to donate to them directly or through the church office.
