On your first visit, please bring two pieces of ID showing your name and current address (such as mail, bills, or a driver's license). You'll also need to bring an ID for every person in your household, such as a Social Security card, medical card, birth certificate, or school ID.
If it's your first visit, plan to arrive no later than 11:30 a.m. It takes a few minutes to get you set up in the system, and volunteers like to wrap up by noon. The pantry is closed on all major holidays. If there's bad weather, call the office at (859) 261-3649 for a recorded message about any closure.
Action Ministries provides food and household grocery items to over 1,000 families each month. Volunteers fill bags with groceries and stock shelves in the warehouse with donated food.
Volunteers welcome you at the front desk, interview you to assess your needs, and then fill your bags with groceries. The pantry serves clients in person at their warehouse and office facility.
Action Ministries also runs a "Food for Thought" program during the school year. Through Family Resource Coordinators in Kenton County Schools, the pantry provides weekend food packages to children who may not have enough to eat at home. These bags are made available without any questions or requirements.
You can support Action Ministries by donating through Kroger Community Rewards. The organization also accepts donated food items. For more information, visit the Action Ministries website.
