Who Can Visit?
The New Albany Food Pantry serves individuals and families living in the New Albany-Plain Local School District and the 43054 zip code. If you live in that area and need food support, you're welcome to come.
Food & Essentials
The pantry offers a wide range of grocery items including fresh produce, dairy, meats, bread, and shelf-stable foods. They also provide personal care items that low-income families may go without not by choice, but because of cost barriers.
Additional Support
Beyond food distribution, the pantry connects neighbors to a broader network of help. Programs like the Summer Meals program and Break Boxes help make sure children and families have access to healthy options during school breaks. The pantry also provides resources for neighbors enrolled in English Language Learning (ELL) programs and makes referrals to other agencies and organizations to connect families with extra support.
Ways to Give
You can support the pantry with a financial donation through their giving page. If you'd like to host a food drive, they offer a Food Drive Toolkit to help you get started. For questions, you can reach them by phone at (614) 685-6344.
