Kroger coin boxes benefit The Salvation Army in Central Ohio from March through April. OSU basketball coach Thad Matta encourages you do donate, and support the less fortunate in Central Ohio.
Drop your spare change in the boxes located at each Kroger cash register during March and April! The money collected will help support The Salvation Army's four choice food pantries in Central Ohio.
With the generous assistance from Columbus area grocery stores and the
Mid-Ohio Food Bank, The Salvation Army delivers food to the needy in Central
Ohio.
The Salvation Army operates four food pantries in Central Ohio. We have upgraded all four to the Choice Pantry model, where clients shop and choose their own items, receiving food based on the number of people in their families, and the recommended servings from each food group. Food pantry clients are given a three-day supply of food for the entire household every 30 days if needed.
We use volunteers extensively to staff our food pantries. To volunteer, contact Dinah O'Dell at Dinah.ODell@use.SalvationArmy.org or call her at 358-2627.
Who is eligible: Any household in Franklin County who has not
been to a Salvation Army food pantry within the last 30 days.
How to access the program: Appointments for the food pantry can
be made by calling the FirstLINK Food Line at 614.341.2282 and requesting an appointment at a Salvation Army food pantry..
