Jordan's Crossing Resource Center is open to low-income families, as well as individuals experiencing homelessness and addiction, on the west side of Columbus, particularly in the Hilltop area. Everyone is welcome to come in for food and support.
The center serves more than 500 people each month. Visitors can expect a hot lunch on weekdays starting at 11:00 a.m., and a community meal on Friday evenings at 6:00 p.m. The Fresh Food Market runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:00 p.m. If you come, just tell the volunteers how many people are in your family and they'll put together a package to help get you through a couple of days, plus a hot meal for that first night.
