FOOD PANTRY
Lancaster-Fairfield Community Action Agency operates one of the largest food pantries in our community. The food pantry provides emergency food assistance to income-eligible Fairfield County residents once per calendar month. A choice pantry is offered on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays and prepacked food orders are offered on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Supported in part by United Way, Senior Hub, Mid Ohio and Bottoms Up.
Holiday Assistance
Acceptance of requests for gifts for children and holiday food assistance for income-eligible households begins October 5th and closes November 17th. To be eligible you must be a resident of Fairfield County and there must be children, under 18, living in the household. If you need holiday assistance, please complete your application(s) here.
We are no longer accepting Christmas toy applications for residents outside of the 43130 zip code.
Funding for the Food Pantry fluctuates each year so monetary or food donations are welcome throughout the year. Items that we always run low on include dietary specific (i.e. low-fat, gluten free, no sugar, etc.), hygiene supplies (especially female supplies) and household cleaning items. If you are interested in donating or holding a drive, please contact the Pantries Coordinator, Tammy Townsend, at ttownsend@faircaa.org or 740-205-8063.
