After touring the Food Pantry Network in Newark last week, there are great changes happening!
The organization has rethought how they distribute food, creating FPN Markets.
Food pantries in Licking County are converting their model of distribution to be more intentional about respecting people’s dignity.
Clients will have a “regular” grocery store experience, instead of being handed a box of food at each visit.
Clients can “shop” for themselves, taking what they need and leaving what they don’t.
They can shop at any location, not just the one assigned to them, at the times they are assigned.
March is the pantry’s largest community-wide drive to fight hunger in Licking County – Operation Feed.
With an increase of 29.5% more households requesting food assistance this year, our support for the FPN of LC is important!
