We Can’t Do It Without You!
Volunteers are essential to our operation at the Freestore Foodbank. They serve in numerous ways, from helping with special events, to stuffing envelopes, to sorting food.
Much of the food that comes to us is collected through community food drives and these are numerous during the holiday season. This means we need reliable volunteers right now to help us sort this food so we can get it out to people in need as quickly as possible.
Now that we have our Kraft Foods Mobile Pantry on the road, we’re able to move food from the warehouse to the community much more efficiently. But, this also requires more efficient food handling in our warehouse. For this, we rely upon ready volunteers.
The work of sorting food is one of the most vital services our volunteers can provide.
Please help us! If your group can serve in this important capacity or if you would be interested in becoming a volunteer driver, we want to hear from you! Please contact Melanie Burden at 513-7527 or Susan Colton at 513-482-4520.
Freestore Foodbank feeds about 200,000 per year through 350 partner agencies.
Have You Seen Our New Administrative Home?
During the first week of January, we were busy moving some of our staff from the Tennessee Avenue location in Bond Hill to the newly constructed Jeff and Darlene Anderson Family Building at the corner of Central Parkway and 12th Street. Twenty administrative employees who comprise the Development, Human Resources, Finance, and Communications Departments now operate out of this location. The new address is 1141 Central Parkway, Cincinnati, OH 45202. All phone numbers remain the same.
Renovations at our Liberty Street Client Services Center are also underway as are improvements at our Mayerson Food Distribution Center in Bond Hill. All of these improvements to facilities will mean greater efficiency and effectiveness in serving our neighbors in need. Renovations are made possible by the Renewing Hope Capital Campaign that is nearing its conclusion.
