The mission of The Foodbank is to relieve hunger in the community through a network of partner agencies by acquiring and distributing food. Food and related supplies are distributed to a network of pantries, community kitchens, shelters and other charitable programs, all of which support the health and development of food insecure individuals. If you or someone you know needs help with food assistance, please contact the United Way of the Greater Dayton Area's Helplink. We are a private, nonprofit organization supported by generous individuals, corporations and foundations.
The Foodbank's Drive Thru Pantry will be open on Monday March 15 and Wednesday March 17 from 9:00-11:00am.
