Thanks to the Ada Food Pantry, several area residents enjoyed a Fourth of July meal, compliments of the pantry. On the Fourth, pantry volunteers distributed grocery packages to prepare a traditional Independence Day dinner to several clients.
For newcomers to the community, and to those who may not realize all the features of the food pantry, here’s an overview:
The food pantry is housed in the Ada Presbyterian Church. It provides a two to three day supply of food to local people in need. An average of 160 – 230 people, or 65 – 75 households, receive aid each month.
Income-qualified residents who live in the food pantry’s service area may visit the pantry once a month. The pantry’s service area encompasses Ada, Dola, Liberty Township and Washington Township.
The Ada Food Pantry is supported entirely by donations from individuals, churches, community groups and Ohio Northern University.
Items may be brought in during open hours, or there may be a collection area in Ada churches.
Persons interested in supporting the pantry monetarily may check with one of the Ada churches to find out how to submit receipts to benefit the Pantry.
All donations to the Pantry are welcome. Donations can be delivered during the pantry’s open hours. In addition to food, the pantry also distributes paper products, personal products, and cleaning supplies.
