food for thought
Because people are hungry for more than food.
The Food Pantry Located inside New Harvest Christian Church and operated in conjunction with ?, the Food Pantry’s mission is to increase access to food for hungry people. We serve the Oregon community’s low-income populace with nutritious non-perishable food, occasional fresh produce, and personal care items.
The Food Pantry is a “Choice Pantry” meaning that individuals can choose what they receive. This creates a grocery store atmosphere. Food is acquired through donations and by purchase at the Northwest Ohio Food Bank. Pantry Hours are Monday – Thursday, 10am-2pm. Have questions?
The Clothing Pantry
Also located inside New Harvest Christian Church, we service families
in the Oregon Community who have clothing needs, starting at infant through adult. Families have the freedom to choose
outfits for each member. They are able to be prepared for school, work, and even job interviews. The Clothing pantry also
changes with the seasons to meet the needs of our area families. We have everything from winter coats and boots to
swimsuits and flip-flops.
Donations to the Clothing Pantry may also be used for our weekly distributions on Saturday mornings in downtown Toledo. Have questions?
Our Mobile Pantry
A Mobile Pantry is a traveling food pantry that delivers food directly to hungry people in need of food. Our 17-foot
truck carries nonperishable food, like rice, canned protein sources, pasta, and breakfast cereals to families and
individuals who have difficulty arranging transportation to stationary food pantries.
Clients can select food coming directly from the truck. The Mobile Pantry is also able to serve locations of concentrated need where residents may lack transportation to food assistance agencies or where agencies do not exist. The clients are able to "shop" through the truck, choosing items that they need. Have questions?
