Upcoming Food Distributions
Accessing nutritious groceries is essential for maintaining a healthy home and ensuring your family has the energy to thrive every day. If you are currently facing food insecurity, we have made it easy for you to find our Upcoming Food Distributions in your area.
School Pantries
School Pantries were designed to provide permanent on-site food assistance at local schools with high food insecurity rates. This newer method of addressing food insecurity for families places pantries on school grounds with the purpose of having year-round accessibility to meal prep items, student-friendly snacks, and health and hygiene items.
Power Pack
Each Friday during the school year, Freestore Foodbank sends packs of food, known as Power Packs, home with students to ensure they have something to eat on weekends. Each Power Pack contains over a dozen food items, which are shelf-stable and kid-friendly.
A Choice Pantry Experience
At our Bea Taylor Market and Liberty Street Market, we offer a Choice Pantry experience. This means families facing food insecurity can select the items that best suit their dietary needs and preferences, just as they would in a traditional grocery store. By providing this level of choice and dignity, we aim to alleviate one of the many burdens families carry while working to overcome food insecurity.
Kids Cafe is a federal program operated through Freestore Foodbank which provides free, complete & nutritious meals to children at the end of the school day so that they aren’t going hungry in the evenings. Kids Cafe provides hot meals each week to 13 after-school sites in Hamilton County ( OHIO) and Kenton County ( Kentucky).
