We are proud to be a part of this effort and thankful to the partners who make it possible! We hope to continue this program for years in to the future...

🧡 We kicked off Action Hunger Month with an incredible donation this week! 🧡

The Food Pantry Network of Licking County is grateful to receive 5,747 pounds of ground pork from the Hartford Junior Fair youth livestock auction.

This generous donation was made possible through the support of Englefield Inc. and Duchess Convenience Stores, Heartland Bank, Licking County Farm Bureau, and Intel, who purchased livestock from local 4-H and FFA exhibitors.

This partnership, which began in 2020, brings together our community’s youth, agriculture, businesses, and organizations to help feed our neighbors! Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible! Thank you for making a meaningful difference for families across Licking County!
