Mid-Ohio Market at Norton Road is open to everyone. There's no income check or zip code requirement to shop here. Just walk in, show your ID, and you're ready to go.
Bring a photo ID when you visit.
You can come once a week.
The market is very popular and lines can get long, sometimes hours before the doors open. Reviewers suggest arriving early, around 9 AM, to get a good spot. You can also join the virtual waitlist online through the Get in Line Online link to save your place without waiting outside. Food selection varies from visit to visit and depends on what's available that day. You can expect a good amount of food to take home.
You'll find fresh produce like fruits and vegetables, breads and baked goods, cereal, crackers, and other shelf-stable pantry basics. Frozen items are sometimes available, and meat may be on hand depending on the day. The variety changes each visit, so what's in stock can differ from week to week.
Mid-Ohio Market at Norton Road is a client-choice pantry set up like a grocery store. You walk in, pick out your own items from the shelves, and take them home. It's totally free with no payment at checkout.
Beyond food, the market can also connect you with help for other needs like healthcare, housing, and job training.
Mid-Ohio Food Collective welcomes community support. Visit mofc.org to learn about donation options.
Volunteers help welcome shoppers, stock shelves, and guide visitors through the store. No experience is needed. You can find an opportunity on the volunteer portal to sign up for a shift.
