About Us
LSS offers a system of food pantries, providing nourishment and hope throughout Ohio.
The majority of our clients use our pantries occasionally to weather unexpected or temporary situations such as a car repair or a reduction in the week’s work hours. Our pantries can help sustain families through these one-time or temporary events, so they don’t spiral into deeper poverty and require additional community resources.
However, seniors and persons with disabilities on fixed incomes use our pantries as much as possible. Our pantry provides access to healthy food they otherwise can’t afford or helps stretch their resources so they can purchase needed medication or pay their rent. We can help prevent an extreme health or housing crisis requiring more public resources.
Pantries provide both shelf-stable and perishable groceries to Ohio families suffering from food insecurity and hunger.
