Mid-Ohio Foodbank and Ohio National Guard Serve 110 Households in 1 Hour

April 13, 2020

Reeb Ave Partner, the Mid-Ohio Foodbank, shares the incredible work of the Ohio National Guard. In their first full hour of serving their humanitarian mission, the Ohio National Guard set a new record for the number of families served in a single hour at the Kroger Community Food Pantry. 110 households were recorded as served from 8:00 to 9:00am in a single morning. That means they were getting a cart of food to a family every 33 seconds!

They are already making a huge impact in how to serve Mid-Ohio Foodbank customers. One of the National Guard Members shared with Mid-Ohio Foodbank how the experience has been for him.

“This mission is why most of us in the National Guard signed up and to give back to those who are less fortunate is humbling. I couldn’t be more proud of my unit and my fellow soldiers.”
