Holiday Season a Great Success
It was an amazing holiday season at the Worthington Resource Pantry!
We’re on the move!

Over the last few years, our growth in neighbors served has been so significant that our current space just can’t keep up. This new facility will give us the room and resources we need to better serve our community - and we can’t wait to welcome you there.
