Through our Customer Connection Center’s Liberty Street Market located at 112 E. Liberty Street in Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati, Freestore Foodbank offers a choice pantry, much like a regular grocery store, to those in need. This means that families struggling to find vital nutrition can select the items that fit the needs of their family, giving them one less thing to worry about as they work to make ends meet.
Food is the beginning of a conversation with our customers, allowing us to find the causes of instability such as housing or employment needs. By addressing the emergency need of food, we can then work to solve larger issues in our community through holistic support and partnerships with other service providers. Hunger is in every community, with one in seven of our neighbors worrying about finding enough food to stay healthy. We also know that it’s not just about getting enough food, but about nutritious and diverse foods to keep families healthy.
