The Pickerington Food Pantry is a choice Food Pantry serving residents of the Pickerington Local School District (excluding zip code 43068 and 43110 which are served by other pantries). We are located in the Olde Village of Pickerington, at 70 Cross Street, Suite B.
Beginning July 1, 2025, pantry services will transition back to once every 30 days* per household. This change reflects adjustments in our funding and aligns with the service schedule we followed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We understand this may be a difficult change, and we remain committed to supporting our community with dignity and care. If you have questions or need assistance planning ahead, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
*Example: A client who receives services on July 1 will next be eligible on or after August 1.
Clients will register and choose an arrival time slot. The time slots are in 3 minute increments. Clients must be present in the pantry during that three minute window. If you are not, you will be offered an emergency food pack and asked to reschedule for another date.
By using this system, clients will no longer have to arrive at the pantry earlier than their reserved time slot. ALL CLIENTS WILL BE SEEN DURING THEIR SCHEDULED TIME. NOT AS THEY ARRIVE TO THE PARKING LOT, LOBBY, ETC.
Reservations may be made up to 7 days in advance.
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE A MESSAGE or SEND AN EMAIL
THERE IS NO COST TO THE CLIENT TO SHOP FOR FOOD
Once you are on the Food Pantry floor, a volunteer walks along with you and you will get a certain number of items per section (product, dairy, meats, vegetables, fruits, proteins, soups, grains, household, hygiene, baby, etc.) depending on the size of your family.
We offer a Choice Pantry which means you pick the items you want to take home, the items you and your family are not allergic to and the items you like. You will take enough food home to make approximately three meals a day for every member of your household for five days. You are allowed to visit us for food once every thirty days.
