Gardens, pantries and food banks: How Ohio tries to keep pace with a growing hunger problem in the state
NEW ALBANY, Ohio — JUNE 26: The Garden for All volunteers work in the garden, June 26, 2023, at All Saints Episcopal Church in New Albany, Ohio.
In the end, lawmakers decided to split the difference, spending about $32 million a year on to Ohio’s food banks. “We try to gauge how much do they need,” she said. “But honestly, every time this year we’ve asked did we give me too much they’ve all said no, please, can you bring more?” “We get between 5,000-10,000 pounds of food at a time,” she explained. “All the rice you see? That was free right now, so we backordered a bunch so it’ll last us for a while. So that when it comes in inventory and it cost me $2 a bag, I don’t have to spend that money because I’ve got it here.”
Still, the differences in scale are hard to miss. When Duffy showed up, she was pulling crates from a every spare inch of a Jeep Cherokee; the Mid-Ohio delivery showed up in a box truck. “That’s, to me, the biggest concern,” she said. “Because as those numbers increase, we don’t have any way to increase what we have available.”Broad Street Presbyterian — and about 3,600 charities like it — rely on Ohio’s network of food banks to fill their shelves. If pantries like Broad Street are stores, food banks are the regional warehouses.
