LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) — The registration period is set to begin for the West Ohio Food Bank’s next food distribution. People can pre-register for the Dec. 8 distribution starting Monday, Dec. 1.
The West Ohio Food Bank’s mission is to battle food insecurity across its 11-county service area. If you need food to help get you through the month, officials urge you to register, as they have seen increased demand for services in recent months.
“And these things have been growing, so we've extended the hours for these. Once again, we used to do these 10 to two and now we're going to go 9am to 3pm so that opens an hour ahead of time, and then an hour at the end of the distribution, because at our last distribution, we served almost 1000 families. So, the need is definitely still out there, and we want to make sure, in time for the holiday season that folks have an opportunity to come by and get some food,” says Jason Aldrich, communications and PR manager for the West Ohio Food Bank.
Registration for the Dec. 8 food distribution begins Monday, Dec. 1. People can register by visiting wofb.org, dialing 2-1-1, or calling the West Ohio Food Bank at (419) 222-7946 during business hours.
