  • PUSH Produce
    • As an agency participating in the PUSH Produce program you will automatically have produce added to your order. Each time you have an order placed online, the produce manager compares what you list on the allocation sheet to what is in stock and adds to your order.  If you would like to participate in the program please send the following sheet to your Community Partnership Manager:

Ohio has more than enough food to feed everyone. Our Direct Retail Pickup program (DRP) ensures that food otherwise wasted reaches our neighbors in need. For more information, click here:

CSFP boxes are designed to meet the nutritional needs of seniors. In addition to nutritious food, boxes contain nutritional education and have important resource information for seniors.
