🇺🇸 Open Hands Free Pantry Holiday Closure 🇺🇸

As part of our commitment to serving our community, we also want to make sure our volunteers have time to celebrate and enjoy the holiday with their families.

The Open Hands Free Pantry will be closed on Thursday, July 2, for the Fourth of July holiday.

Thank you to everyone who supports this ministry through volunteering, donations, and encouragement. Together, we continue to be neighbors helping neighbors. ❤️

Have a safe and blessed holiday!

❗ Open Hands Free Pantry – Weather Closure Notice ❗

Due to hazardous road and weather conditions across Ohio, the Open Hands Free Pantry will be closed tomorrow, January 27th.

The safety of our volunteers and community members always comes first, and we appreciate your understanding.

Please stay safe, check on neighbors who may need assistance, and follow local weather updates.

We look forward to reopening as soon as conditions improve.

📢 Operation Hunger – January Schedule Update

We wanted to share a quick update with our community. Operation Hunger will take place on January 17 this month, one week later than usual. Our food delivery schedule was briefly shifted due to holiday timing, and this adjustment ensures we have everything needed to serve families fully and reliably.

As a result, grocery packing will also move back one week and will now take place on January 15 — and yes, pizza is still included for our amazing volunteers.

Thank you for your flexibility and continued support. We appreciate this community more than you know.

Snow isn’t stopping us today! Drive on through between 3 and 5 pm for your free groceries! All you need to bring is your ID.

🌟 It’s Giving Tuesday! 🌟

Today, we join millions around the world in celebrating generosity — and we invite you to be part of what neighbors helping neighbors looks like here in Springfield and Clark County, Ohio.

Through Springfield-Clark Community Initiative (SCCI), local churches, community groups, and volunteers come together to fight hunger, support families in crisis, and bring hope where it’s needed most. Every gift, no matter the size, strengthens this mission and directly impacts families right here at home.
