The Allen County Fairgrounds opened up their gates today for the first time since the pandemic hit for the West Ohio Food Bank’s distribution. As we enter our 8th week of COVID-19 conditions in Ohio, hundreds of cars were lined up at the Allen County Fairgrounds for what the CEO of the West Ohio Food Bank says is their biggest distribution they’ve ever had. For this distribution, American Electric Power of Ohio helped provide over 107,000 lbs. worth of food with a generous donation of $25,000 to the West Ohio Food Bank. Now more than ever, the community has been coming together to help those in need, and the food bank has been more than appreciative of these partnerships.
