The Freestore Foodbank serves more than 300,000 people annually in 20 counties across Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana with the help of more than 350 member agencies. Those member agencies include food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, childcare/eldercare centers, community centers and residential programs. The Freestore Foodbank solicits, warehouses, and distributes 18 million pounds of donated food and groceries annually.

The Freestore Foodbank uses food to start a conversation to figure out what else is going on in clients’ lives, in turn connecting them to the necessary resources to move forward. Client services offered by the Freestore Foodbank include: Emergency Rent Assistance, Direct Rent/Utilities Program, Protective Payee Program, Transportation Assistance, Emergency Clothing, Holiday Food Basket Distribution, and Homeless Outreach Program.

You can also donate canned food at our UtopiaCon 2012. If you are buying day passes you can get $1 off per can food donation up to $5 off.
