Food pantries and free groceries Fairfield County OH.

Churches as well as non-profits in the Lancaster Ohio area provide free food to the low-income and people with no money. The pantries will give out free groceries or serve meals regardless of age, race, or religion. In fact, many senior citizens as well as children in the Fairfield County area will take priority. Find a free food pantry near you in Fairfield County OH.

Resources are limited and a focus of the pantries is on ensuring the most vulnerable do not go hungry. Any emergency assistance from a food bank is combined with case management. This can include everything from employment to applying for long term support from SNAP food stamps or some other government benefit, even including government programs for free money. The goal is to not only feed the family, but also stop a recurrence of hunger from occurring.

Other assistance available today from a pantry ranges from Meals on Wheels to free Holiday and Thanksgiving meals. There are also free pet food banks in the area. However, much of that is available from the Fairfield County soup kitchens.
