Vineyard Columbus Northside Food Pantry

Who Can Visit?

The Vineyard Columbus Northside Food Pantry is open to anyone who needs help supplementing their household food supply. To receive food, you'll need to register through FreshTrak before your visit.

How to Register?

Visit freshtrak.com to find the pantry and set up your appointment. On Saturdays, an appointment is required to be served. On weekdays, you can walk in without an appointment.

How Often You Can Visit?

You can visit once a month.

Good to Know

Arrive early, especially on Saturdays. The pantry can be very busy no matter what time you show up. A free hot breakfast is offered every Saturday. Food quality can vary, but the pantry works hard to provide a dignified and respectful experience for every guest.

Food & Essentials

The pantry provides a great selection of foods to supplement your household pantry and cupboards. The Creation Care ministry at Vineyard Columbus also grows and harvests fresh produce from two community garden plots and donates it to the food pantry. When available, dog food and diapers may also be offered.

How to Pick Up

This is a client-choice pantry where guests select their own food items. Volunteers bring your food out to your car and help you load it.
