It's hard to believe but some students go a whole weekend without any food. Help us address this problem.
For at risk students, GRIN, with the help of Gahanna-Jefferson teachers and groups in the community provide a small pack of supplemental food every Friday, during school and throughout the summer months.
If you are aware of a student who faces food insecurity over weekends, please reach out to inform us so we can look into the situation.
The 2022 summer lunch program has ended for the year. Thanks to all those who volunteered to make this vital program a success.
11,034 lunches were served over the 10-week summer vacation. That averages out to 230 meals each day or 1100+ meals every week.
GRIN’s Thanksgiving Food Box Distribution for 2022 was held on Saturday, November 19th at Peace Lutheran Church. We were able to provide 354 families a food box.
Our Back To School Fair for 2022 has ended.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this event happen. We were able to supply 582 backpacks to children in need.
The mobile food pantry continues to serve families in need as we learn of them.
