The West Ohio Food Bank is reminding patrons to follow the rules during monthly food distribution days.
“We take a lot of food in, we push a lot of food out. Of course, we're the largest food distributor in west central Ohio. So anytime we have a company and we have a regular relationship with a company like Aunt Millie's, it's a great thing,” said Jason Aldrich, communications and public relations manager for the West Ohio Food Bank.
Hundreds of families lined up Monday for the only December food distribution offered by the West Ohio Food Bank, as demand for assistance continues to climb during the holiday season.

Jason Aldrich, communications and PR manager for the West Ohio Food Bank, said, “That's always a big time of year for giving, and we urge folks to continue to do that, get your churches, your groups, your organizations, to come out and volunteer, to do food drives to help us with our food distributions that we do two times a month for the community.”
“Not everybody has access to get to providers, to get to resources. So this event really is in the heart of downtown Lima area, and is in walking distance of a lot of different neighborhoods and it all. It puts it all in one spot,” said Catherine Lusky, community health coordinator at Mercy Health–St. Rita’s.
The United Way of Lima held its 9th annual "National Day of Caring," with volunteers tackling projects all across the area.
