Serving all of Delaware County, Ohio

Our Food Pantry has been assisting Delaware County for over 27 years! There is no age or race discrimination in hunger. Young and old seek help with food and taxables from the People In Need (PIN) Food Pantry. Nutritious food packages are provided up to five times per year, per household. Each food package is selected and packed with care and precision by trained volunteers.

The following is a list of most needed items in the PIN Food Pantry. Please contact the Pantry Staff at (740) 363-6284 if you have any questions or need to make an appointment for food.

"CAN" pain Report

The annual "CAN"pain sponsored by the People In Need, Inc. (PIN) Food Pantry was held from March 12 through May 28, 2007. Canned foods, non-perishable foods, taxable items, diapers, babyfood and like items were accepted.

Once again, the Delaware County community responded with overwhelming donations for the PIN Food Pantry. Churches, organizations, businesses, individuals & the Delaware Postal Carriers gathered & delivered a mountain of goods for the hungry and desolate of Delaware County. Thank you......

The PIN Food Pantry is the only regulated food pantry in Delaware County. We must observe annual inspections from various sources. We thank all churches, schools, organizations, businesses and concerned individuals who continually support our pantry thus enabling our volunteers to provide nutritous food packages to the hungry. We are pleased to serve the Delaware County community.
