For about two years, Lesley Reed has relied on the Mid-Ohio Market at Columbus State while pursuing her degree. Last semester, when she had to bring her groceries to class because of the bus schedule, she felt embarrassed—until a classmate spoke up. "She said, 'You went to the market, that's cool.' I felt supported and seen," Lesley shared. "It felt like a community after that—people looking out for each other, making sure everyone gets fed." This Hunger Action Month, help us spread the word that it’s OK to ask for help! Share this post or submit your own food assistance story at mofc.org/mystory. #HungerActionMonth #GoOrange

At The Refuge Ohio, a faith-based addiction recovery center, the journey toward healing begins with something as simple as sharing a meal. Last year, Mid-Ohio Food Collective provided over 200,000 pounds of food to The Refuge, with nearly all of it at no cost. In fact, 95% of all the food MOFC distributes to its partner agencies is provided free of charge. This ensures that organizations like The Refuge can focus on supporting our neighbors without the added burden of covering food costs.
